How is the roof on your kit ? I didn't notice that my kits roof was wavy until I applied the clear gloss varnish….
The waves on the outside followed the folds of the inside.

I checked my roof, Ulf, and yes, it is wavy. I still have a few more prime and sand operations to go so I think I can smooth it out. I don't think the depth of the low spots are any more than the thickness of two layers of paint.  Some block sanding should straighten it out.

A sanding job that really takes some effort. I actually bought a new kit and put in quite a bit of work, but played it safe with a matte gold flake on the roof.

I suppose that tactic can help to hide the distortion; gray primer hid it from me until you "opened my eyes" about the issue (and I'm grateful that you did.)  I will make the effort to block sand. If it was easy, it wouldn't worth it.
