Another question about 1/200 Yamato - warped hull

I'm not sure but I think I would try to find some drawings with cross-sectional plans and see if  I could install some bulkheads then hit it with a blow dryer. or maybe get a contour gauge at a hardware store to get a contour shape of the non-warped side then make a complete bulkhead and install it. Your going to need some support underneath the wooden deck anyway so maybe the bulkheads would get two birds with one stone so to speak. just kinda bouncing the idea around in my head Lord knows there's enough empty space

Uhhh, the hull is 51 inches long .  I might try the hair dryer though. Thanks.
