Those are some nasty wrinkles all right. Mine had very few. But it's hard to fault the manufacturer for wrinkles. After all, who knows how long ago it was built, and then it was boxed, crated and put on a boat for several weeks. God only knows what temperature and humidity changes it went through before it got to you.
But as bad as they are, a heat gun followed by an iron should get all of that out.
Minn, you're right, nothing a heat-gun and an iron is afraid of!
Model now is OK and ready for assembly.
btw, I have monokote coverd models that, once covered, never had such nasty wrinkles even after mamy seasons. Still I'm not lucky at all since the room where I park them (a cave...) is very moisty.
The design of this kit is incredible, the only mod I'll do is fit slightly larger wheels on. I fly from grass, our flying field is not that flat.
As far as you know, does this model have the tendecy to nose-over on take-off?
