"Bowls away"

Spiros, prior to this, never had any issue with the polycaps on either Tamiya and some Hasegawa kits have used polycaps as well. Stuck a tooth pick in maybe to center the cap and then insert. Still very tight. Only thing is somehow maybe some cement may have somehow made contact. Any way it's all good.

Eric, George, the whole story is rather intriguing in actually getting it delivered. Especially as how the Navy is not fond of anything unusual. Especially if your in combat operations in theatre. There instance of photo ops of such adventures, but never actually carrying it out due to the nature of Navy brass. Trust me not just the officers, but grizzly NCO's can put the kabbash as well.

Andrew, I had failed to mention that the polycaps used for the ordnance were ok, I didn;t experience any problems with those pieces as I was removing them and pushing them back in a few times. I wonder if somehow not paying attention may have inserted the wrong poly cap, but then the kit only came with one type, several of them in fact that were used for the tanks and ordy. Hmmm. Anyway as you said it's all good.
