That way the cap is held in place but a blade or a jewellers screwdriver edge would prise it off.I am in the middle of updating my very first PZ4 and one of the crimes that I committed is that I glued the front sprocket caps on DOHH,
But the first Tank is always the steepest part of the learning curve,
When I took the Body from the Hull I was amazed at how crude both Heng Longs work and mine was.
There is much work to do.

A slight smear on opposite sides is Exactly what I was thinking,they do seem to fit purty darn tight to start. Do realize if one should fall off in my backyard it’d be lost forever!!

Just paint the inside of the cover Fluoro Pink indeed as a general rule if you intend to run your Armour outdoors and you have semi-loose fittings it is a good idea to paint the side of the fitting that is not on show in a bright colour in case it should fall off,
No guarantee that you will find it but it does improve your chances.
