Embarrasing bodies special...I have nacelle droop.

So i'm still working my way through my Federation resin fleet box, and I have a problem. One of my CA's has a droopy left nacelle. It went together ok with the usual amount of swearing to get the nacelle's to attach to the model at all, but the left nacelle support has started drooping for no apparent reason. Can anyone suggest the best way of rectifying this? I assume heating then cooling the resin is the way to go but would welcome any advice from the more experienced modeler's out there.
 
Yep heating and cooling is the way to go. Only had one problem with this myself with a CC.
I used the heater in my bathroom but you do have to be really careful that you don't distort the whole thing!
It can also work if you carefully run the bit you need to adjust under a thin stream of hot water from a tap, that way you only heat the bit you need to bend not the whole model.
