For what it's worth, I play primarily 6mm.  But I store my turrets and
hulls seperately and match them to the specific model.

For instance, I have two models of grav medium tank that I use, one
MDC-armed and one DFFG-armed.  Same hull, different turret.  The same
turrets on tracked hulls produce the second-echelon forces with HKP
and DFFG.

YMMV.
