Wondering Why the Emperor Left

Hey Dakka, I have been gone far too long...but anyways.
So I was busy building and priming my lovely Dark Eldar Raiders, when I made a terrible error. The way I had stashed one of the Raiders has caused the rudder blade to be bent. Does anyone know of a method to straighten out a bit of plastic that has already been primed and bent? Any advise would be helpful. Thank you much

Gently warm it with a hairdryer (if you can't hold your hand close without it burning, it's too hot).
Then bend it back into shape. And allow to cool (blow cool air on it if it helps).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

awesome! I was worried heat would bubble or otherwise mess with the primer, but to be fair I was also thinking I would need like a fire's worth of heat. Thanks for the help!
