      Tea time is getting into the territory of "overtime" and "double pay" for the AirForce.

       

      As they say in the Junior Service - "don't dig-in: check-in"

      Don't do it.  Simple.  Go call Samaritans.  Talk it through.   Their advice is awesome.  I guess you have been discussing this with yourself in your head:  time to bring some other expert advisors into the conversation.

      The gun "footplates" are only left down for firing.  In transit they are stowed.  Perhaps consider stowing them and then it will fit into the lifting box.

  6. How about trying hot air from a hair dryer, heating the plastic up gently rather than a dunk in boiling water?

      I saw this from the corner of my eye and flinched.

       

      I did this with a hair dryer on  a brand new Hornby Hall body last week.  By the time I noticed the cab steps were looking "soft", it was too late - the cab itself had already absorbed too much heat and even after the dryer was off, it continued to morph.

       

      I would stick well clear of hot air hair dryers or heat guns.
