Excactly. I cut a trough in a piece of PTFE, lined up the LEDs (belly down), and added a tiny drop of Loctite 401 (dries up crystal clear, no "blooming") on each side. Capillary forces "suck" the glue underneath and between the LEDs. If you are careful soldering, the heat will not undo the CA bond.

...Do you have more photos showing the body of the model?...

Not at this point, it's all in pieces. I want to finish the rear of the wheel loader first and turn it into a working "half-model" before I delve into the drive mechanism for the bucket (although I have some good idea how that can be accomplished).
Best regards from Germany,
