Revell Type VII Sub Driver Flap Valve problem

[ir3aus]

Davie,

The flap valve on the ballast tank will not seal. I have tried smoothing out the seating surface; I have tried recentering the flap over the hole; I have tried various pressures on the lever used to seal the air escape hole and nothing helps. I used RTV around the outer surface where the flapper valve housing is attached to tube. There was air escaping through a gap where the rubber flap is attached to the housing.

Need help.
