I did a very bad thing I tried to take the warpage out of my Bandai 1/24 King Tiger upper body. Well, I have a mess and am looking for anyone who is parting out their kit to purchase said upper body. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you can post some photos? Someone might have some ideas on how you can salvage what you've got.

Trust me there is no fix. Not only did it severely warp and buckle the rear section of the upper hull it also shrunk it and the engine access panel is too large. In effect- junk.

If you can't come up with anything you could build a wreck out of it, or put it in a diorama with the back half sunk in mud, or underwater, or under rubble.

....just a thought

Maybe not the best idea, but have you checked evilBay?

For what it's worth try:
