The front glacis plate is slightly warped where it is curved where the front of the plate meets the front of the lower hull armor. What can someone suggest to fix this as it seems to be a part of complex shape.

Any ideas?

Forgot to mention, the whole glacis plate is resin.

Thanks everyone

Either dipping it in boiling water (Carefully!) or by using a hair dryer to heat the piece up. Remember that once you have it heated and the way you want it, pour cool water on it quickly so it will "set" the way you have it.

There is also one example that MIGHT help for another possability... Saul Garcia Pic 1
