Appreciate the kind comments. I used Mig paints light green khaki (pkhv-512) as a base on the 2s1. Although the color has been weathered with various shades of green, it is a great base color to work from.

The mine sure was a big one to be able to do that to the 2S1 kit tracks! Or my eyes are badly wrong tonight ;-) But it's really good job.

Ouch........ Well spotted. I must admit I didn't notice the error till you pointed it out. Goes to show just easy it is to make a basic mistake. Still scratching my head wondering how I missed it.

that's ok, I once managed to GLUE the two halves of an AFV CLub LVT track together with the chevrons facing each other....only realised I'd done it days later when it was way too late to rescue them...

Don't worry about it, unless you plan to add the dio in a contest. There, you will have to do some deep thinking on how-to fix.
As for me, well, I'm the kind of guy who finds errors in movies, TV and as you've seen: forums/dioramas lol
