Question for owners of completed Std Tie kits

[Zombie Killer]

How are your mounted wings holding up when it comes to warpage? I have been holding off the building of my kit because i wanted to replace the edge 'T' with something like brass to keep the wings from warping but i am wondering if anyones built kits have sagging/warped wings after sitting for awhile.

Thanks

Which version Tie kit you have? if you have the 1 piece cast fuselage I don't see any problem, I really doubt those thick pylons will bend in time.

I was meaning the wings themselves.

I've had one that has been built right out of the box for at least 4 years with no problems, it's stored out of direct sunlight, but not in temp control, the basement i have it in gets to at least 80 in the summer. It's the tie that made the trip to be in 5-25-77 and survived the trip and filming with no warpage.

They shouldn't warp, they are pretty thick to begin with so i see no problem, unless they are near extreme heat source.

Thank you for your replys. I will not worry about it and just build the wings as is.

Thanks again
