What is the best method of straightening the 1/32 Meng Dr.I wings? Slight dihedral in my copy.

I went old fashion: set the wings in my kitchen oven at 120°C checking costantly to avoid melting and careful hand straightening. My kit had all three wings warped
...but I suggest this way only if you are really confident to hand manipulate your model's parts.

All I did was use finger pressure to straighten mine. Took perhaps 10 minutes. No Heat was involved and they remain nice and striaght!

I heated a wing with a hair dryer and put it back to shape with my hands.
