I agree with you Bill. It is too bad that their quality control can't catch this during the manufacturing process. But then, if it is a random occurrence, maybe it has something to do with the packing process?
I have sent a request with pic, part #, and kit # to Revell. We will see what happens...
Since I have two of the kits, I may try some of the suggestions above, and use the Rat Roaster windshield frame, which is not bent, on the next version of this kit that I plan on building.
Cheers
