I realise casting resin isnt a thermal plastic, but I seem to recall some thin resin casts can be heated gently so they slightly soften up and can then be slightly pushed or manipulated?
H have a little issue where many of my castings have slightly warped, not sure how or at what stage in the design. But a simple fix would be to heat some flaps/wings and ease then back a little so they can fit again...
Is that possible here?

Once fully cured, the resin cannot generally be softened with heat. If it is a fresh pour and has not had a post cure, heat will often soften it slightly which in thinner sections can cause deformation and distortion. A post cure will stop that from happening.
In terms of bending the wings, it may be possible on a fresh cast but you would need to experiment to see if you can find a balance that works.
