Warped the body in the dehydrator...too much heat I guess... wierd how its just one side.....

Do you think I can save it, and how? Will reheating pop it back, will it crack the paint etc...I've pretty much got it perfect and ready for clear and now it warped....

Best you can hope to do is heat it again to flatten it somewhat and make it look like crash damage, or chalk it up to experience and use it as the base for an aftermarket body conversion (luckily you have many choices nowadays).

DO take note of where it was in the dehydrator - maybe you have a "hot spot" in there.

Yup, time to add a few more dents, weather it and make it a beater. Might also be able to purchase a body only from Revell.

That's why I don't use a dehydrator! A 60 watt light bulb in a wooden box with a thermometer I built just for drying. Get up to 96 degrees and that's it.
