i'm assembling a razorback with the weapon on the rear. I glue the hatch on; the one with the hole in it, and i put it on backwards with super glue.

i didn't even notice as i paint the gun seperate. my friend pointed it out.

my question is how do i remove it without tearing up the tank. I've used a lot of force and it just isn't cutting it.

advice por favor?

Why do you need to move it? It'll just put the turret in a different place.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

You might be able to get it off really carefully using a very sharp hobby knife and some precise strokes.

If it is super glue,

- Soak in Simple green or the likes for a while
- Freezer

Or both.

Simple green weakens superglue from what I understand and the freezer makes it brittle (though if I recall it also makes plastic brittle but Im not sure about it)

It's not in the wrong place. It's an "Alternative Build STC."

Put it together however you like it best. It's your model. Myself, I have the turrets in both positions.

Just leave it as it is. In your case its an honest mistake that still looks cool...and it gives you an extra inch or so as measured from the gun.
However: You need to make sure you glued the correct side up. The side with the little hatches showong fits the Razorback gun mount. The side with the exhaust grill is for the predator tank turret. Different sizes.
In the future, dont glue this part on at all. In additon glue the top Rhino hatch together and paint it up too. This way you can use the basic Rhino hull for any vehicle type; Razor, Rhino, Pred, Whirlwind. Never buy the barebones Rhino. Buying any of the other kits gets you a Rhino plus the unique Weapon sprue.
Vindicators are different enough with all the plating and gun face that they become permanent builds.
