Looks good to me, I know the pains of dealing with the Zvezda 2-piece vinyl tracks first hand. It is not a pleasant experience. I replaced mine with cheap Maquette individual links.

I like it! I have the Maquette T-34/85 with mine roller that I hope someday...if I live to be 100...to build.
How was the mine roller build? It looks kind of difficult.
I like your mud and weathering of the vehicle.

the mine roller is not too bad, some of the teeth you have to add on the individual rollers, Its a bit fiderly but ok.

Great job on the model as a Builder of one Zvezda Model I feel the pain.

Kind of soft in detail.

As Rob said I also use the Maquette tracks after you fill in the knock out holes.

Again great job on a Nice 1943 T-34

Nice mud!
The build looks good in the pictures. Your backyard stone work looks interesting, we're getting some green between our step stones too. I always liked that look.
I also have the Maquette T34/85 with mineroller kit but the indi tracks included were were skinny like the IM machine didn't fill the mold. And I had to drill out some of the ten holes around some of the road wheels.
Anyway, your roller system looks more detailed than mine.
