My lasted Dio. It is an old 1/35 Italeri Sherman kit. The figures are from miniart.

You chould say I had few building problems

1#The tracks as you all know are Vinyl and as tradition on the old tracks they snapped in a couple of places when attached, I hand to use a flag to hide the snapped track.

Both back wheels holders snapped off and had to re-connect them with pins.

Pretty neat concept overall and the river/bank looks good but that flag wouldn't last two seconds before the tracks/suspension ripped it to shreds. Also, the spade doesn't seem to be held on by anything so would fall off the vehicle at the first bump. Just a couple of small things that can easily be fixed.......

Really like the camo treatment! Great workmanship overall.

Yes the flag sould somehow be shreaded on the lower end.

I realize the flag is to cover up the broken track however perhaps you may now need to use a coat (or something) to cover up the weird star pattern on that flag!
