Roughly, what temp does kit plastic warp at ?

[Bob Ellis]

At 50-60C, the plastic distorts and the kit becomes unusable

That is hotter than an attic

50 deg. C is only 120 deg.F. That's as hot as my shower. Any decent kit plastic is stable at higher temperatures.

A car interior can easily exceed 140 deg. F, as can an attic.

I can imagine some sealed kits are just boxes of spruce!

That has to really burn you when you specifically wanted a box of cedar.

Makes my heart pine to build a wooden model.
