Use a drop of semi-diluted Elmer's white glue. Apply with a toothpick. If it's just watery enough, it should level out. If you mess up, let it dry and pop it off with the end of an X-acto knife, and then try again.

Hi there.

I've used Sabot's trick before. On my Italeri Sherman I used whiteout. It does the same thing.

Cheers

I think you talk about the sink hole right in the center of the sprocket.....First, you could make the hole bigger, then use some streched sprue to plug it, or drop a small plasticard disk inside ( +/- 4.25mm dia. )......
Or use another one from Dragon, AFVclub, or Academy.......!
' ve a nice day...!
