I have a 1/35 t-35 kit that I'm working on, and the main "deck", I guess you could call it, is very warped. Its about 10.5 inches long 3.5 inches wide. I dont know what to do.
Here is a picture I found on the web of a fully assembled kit to give you a better understanding of what it looks like. The only thing I can think of is hot water.

Thank you for any help.

Depending on how warped it is, you might try clamping & gluing just a litlle bit at a time. It's time consuming, but that should pull it all into place. I've tried the hot water method before, and usually end up over-compensating, making it much worse.

You may want to use superglue instead when you clamp it together

As Shermiesrule has said try using superglue a bit at a time and as you do put some accelerant on it so it goes off straight away.
