warped kv-1 upper hulls
has anyone bought a kv-1 recently? i now have 4 hulls that i bought for my current kv-1 project that are warped across the middle anyone else have this or just me? my last kv-1 and a spare hull i started to convert to a kv-7 are as flat as a sheet of glass
this one is the LEAST warped its all the way from the front plate to the rear sunk in the middle so the turret dosent sit true
on that note does anyone have a true hull they have to spare and are willing to sell this is beg-nay... HAS really pissed me off i cant afford any more bloody usless hulls

Mine came from AFF Tank Museum but it was still in the Tamiya plastic bag so they got it that way you cant see it is like that in the bag .

My Pzr III was very warpped in several places, Luckily its now being remodeled, so those imperfections can be sorted out. Are HL getting a bit lazey in the mould shop?
