Ahoy Shipmates,

I just completed issue 83 and checked the die-cast parts which will be painted and fitted in issue 90.
Unfortunately one of the spears is slightly bent on the trophy.
Could anyone suggest a method to bend it back? As the die-cast part is very brittle I don't want to "just" bend it and risk to snap.
Any suggestions? Or shall I ask Customer Service to send a replacement part?

Thanks.

Safest way would be to ask Customer Service to send a replacement part. Whilst you await its arrival you could always try to straighten it by bending it after some gentle heat application.
