What is the best way to flatten or straighten out warped pieces of building parts from Korber kits?
Thanks in advance for you tips!!!

I used a heat gun. (a super hair drier) The parts are relatively thick, it may require a couple of heat applications to get the desired (flat/straight) part. Usually more problems with very old kits.
Korber 304. Click on the underlined phrase to link a slideshow.
Thanks Mike. I'll give that a try.
The parts in question are from a recent release and are of the plastic variety. The kit is Ted's Textiles #MRS2000.
It would be best to contact Rich Redman at Korber since this is the newer style plastic. If the walls are badly warped Rich may just replace them. He did this for me with one kit in which I had problems with mold defects. The heat gun works great on the old style kits but I believe that was a different kind of plastic. With this kit too much heat just may warp or melt the plastic.

Thanks Joe. I may just do that. I was trying to avoid wasting pieces if they could be saved, but these may just not be salvageable.
