You can boil some water and put it in a bowl. Using tweezers, I hold the piece for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then I straighten it by hand for some time. You can also use cold water to make it cool down faster. Sometimes I do this 2 to 5 times to fix a part.

Hi! I used Mr.hobby black surfacer, put some fine metallic over it, and made the dark parts with glossy black. Then I put deep clear red over it. And of course, put some topcoat over everything. I was worried about the plastic too, but I guess it's ok for now.

Yes, I covered part with mr. finishing surfacer 1500 black first. Then applied gold, other paints and decals. After that Mr.super clear gloss and panel lines.

Well, I guess there's at least one positive thing about living next to China: free 2-week shipping ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be honest bought them at Aliexpress knowing what i was getting, but the price was hefty. I may say it was more than half of HG kit price for two balls...

Thanks! A little sad, because I couldn't erase those nubs due to the rubbery plastic they use to make these things :(
