Removing Wing Warp? Empty Removing Wing Warp?

Got a cox sopwith camel from ebay for a good price earlier this week. Came in today and upon opening the box, found that the wings and elevator were warped and twisted pretty badly. I contacted the seller hoping to return it for a refund but I don't think he's going to give me one. So, is there any way to remove wing warp on these old plastic planes? Thanks.

Welcome to CEF, Talon.
I've tried with no success to straighten a warped PT-19 wing, using braces, clamps and a heat gun. But there are some guys here that know a lot of tricks that I don't, so maybe they can come up with an answer.

I've had good luck (sometimes) with steam from a kettle, wear gloves so you don't burn yourself. It doesn't get as hot as a heat gun, which can ruin a RTF quicker then you can say Thimble-Drome.
