I think you'll find the gap is intentional and part of the construction/design. Take a look on the web, searching for images.

Here is a link that may help.

I'm doing some at the moment. Purchased the Tamiya set, not the old oil drum and jerry can set, got those from way back, no the newer set which actually has tiny lettering engraved in the sides (German version)
