I don't care about plumbers' problems, they are free people...
And this glue doesn't stick the parts together, the glue forms a sticky film.

Liquid or plastic cement will chemically weld two pieces of polystyrene plastic together used alot of that stuff on model kits when younger you have to be aware the parts have to be clean to work as intended etc

Okay...
You didn't hear me......
Let's blame Google Translate.

I don't repair the body of a buggy, traggy or monster, for me they are practically disposable, like a contraceptive...

Thanks for all the replies again. The replacement wheels have arrived, the only way I could get the centre caps off to remove the sticky wheels was to drill them, so I no longer have centre caps for this tank. Fair play to coolbank, 12 days from 1st contact I had the wheels here with me. Took a few messages initially to get them to understand I hadn't originally ordered through their aliexpress shop (the place I managed to contact them), but they replied quickly and soon confirmed they could supply the parts I needed.

I hadn't given PVA a thought, but I will try that sometime. I have to be honest, I ordered a 2nd crusader just incase the parts from coolbank turned out to be wrong. So now I will have 2 crusaders to play with

Drop it in the ocean and come back to it in a year, saltwater will eat away at it.

A Tip for fitting wheel centre covers,
If the wheel-s are retained by a central metal fixing glue a small (And they do come very small) Neo Dymion magnet in the wheel centre cover, You will never lose a wheel cover BUT when you want to take off a wheel the cover will just pull off.
