Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

I feel your pain. Did you use fixtures like I did? I had some warping in my boom but fixed it by clamping the whole section to my metal shear's table then ran my jewelers torch back and forth quickly heating up all of the solder joints and just about all were realigned.

I did the same with a combination of clamps and weights, carefully heating up the whole section.
I had the advantage of well fitting joints so there was little danger of everything falling apart.
But it took me 4 or 5 times to get it all straight.
