pillar Broken front pillar window. How to repair?

[WorldOfCarModelsCraft]

Hello, can anyone advise me on how to fix the pillar. I think the model was crushed. One side of the roof is lower than the other.

Cut two pieces of popsicle stick that length and sandwich the piller and clamp it... then flow some tamiya extra thin or equivalent in between the gap... leave it clamped until dry... then rescribe deeply and sand/ fill / scribe until straight. Here's some pics I made to kind of illustrate what I mean... 

Hopefully it will work out for you.

Szkoda, że zestaw jest wypaczony. Zestaw wygląda jak Revell Mustang z lat 1965-1966 - czy to niemiecki Revell? Powinieneś mieć możliwość zażądania wymiany od „ROG”.

Honestly that's pretty bad, I would try to find someone parting out the kit and buy another body.

You could also clamp it and use heat...

I will say though there's no way you come back from that without some sculpting/shaping...

I’m with Brian.

If it’s not a rare kit, it shouldn’t be to hard to source a new body.

I wouldn’t waste my time on it.

I’m a cheapskate! I would replace the vent window divider with some styrene stock. The A pillar I would try to gently straighten it with a small pair of needle nose pliers. If that failed, I would cut it out and carve a new one from evergreen stock. What have you got to lose? If you wreck it…then look for a replacement.?‍♂️

I'm  not a cheapskate but I would attempt to fix so that if you would find a rare kit that had suffered the same fate you would have very the skills,s to repair it.

If I didn't have to pay a small fortune to send it to Poland, I'd give it to you.

I doubt that I'll ever build it.

I thin I will have to cut it off. the roof is bend on this side aswell. I wll try Polystyrene Sheets. Is there special technique to do it?

 

It is all about that i want to lern the things like that to be able repair and make my own parts. I look for destroyed models and already painted its all fun to make them all brand new.
