individual panels like doors, hoods, fenders, etc. Any of these would be subject to warping.
My 'ancient' experience with ABS goes back to the RV industry where our company used ABS material molded into the shape of a 'roof' for a truck pick-up camper cover ( just the cover, not self contained ). Short version....these things did not enjoy being twisted torsionally,(truck beds twist a LOT on 'non-smooth' roads ) nor did they adapt well to temp extremes ( below freezing was particularly hard on the component. ) BOTH conditions resulted in cracking...with no 'notice'. These may not apply to this new composite, nor to the typical storage conditions for a model though. Still , there WILL be a learning curve.
