4 Scale, I was comparing your pictures with mine and honestly I cannot see where your tape is touched. On mine,


I can see the shape (better seen without flash?) and if I run my finger over it, I can feel a bit of an indentation on the tape where the bottom of the "duckbill" touched said tape (green). It is barely there and does not go the entire width of the dukbill but there it is nevertheless.
So am I not seeing something I should in your picture?
