Has anyone had any issues with the hull being warped in any of their Buffalo MPCV kits? I have all three- the first version 2006-2008 version was fine. The Slat version is a different color of plastic (more yellow and more of a waxy look to it) and the hull had a slight twist to it, front to back. The slat/spaced armor one is the same color plastic as the slat one, but it has a serious twist to it. If the top of the front is at the 12 o'clock position, the top of the back is at the 2 o'clock position! I have tried dipping in hot water, hair dryer and just plain old twisting it by hand, but it still goes back to the twisted position. I am hoping it will straighten out when the interior is added. Anyone else have this issue and have any success correcting it?

Take some photos of it and e mail Bronco (or their importers) for a replacement... thats what I'd do

I thought about emailing Bronco, but by the time I get a replacement, it'll likely be Christmas. Hopefully adding the interior will help straightened it up

Dragon USA are the importers I think, they should be able to replace it
