Liked the model and the build, but for a few things. Instructions mention D1 which is really D15 on the sprue.

Again instructions say use WH2 when it is really WH3. Not a major problem but it does give me a moment of saying where he heck is that part.

Step 1 shows putting the three gear shifts onto the transmission. Next picture shows the problem I had later.

Step 25 shows slipping the body onto the frame making sure to get the three gear shifts through the three holes in the floorboard. Naw that ain't happening. I ended up snipping the shifts off and then gluing them after the body was fixed to the frame.

Enjoyed putting the track together but when I tried to put a section of them on the drive sprockets they didn't fit. There was a large gap between the wheel and the track. So I snipped off half the sprockets and as you can see in the next pix it worked fine.

As you can see I came up with a better fit than what I started out with. Actually enjoyed doing the tracks. When I first opened the box I thought oh no way is this going to be fun but I was wrong. Wife told me to quit complaining and just do it, she was right as usual.

I tend to not follow the camouflage the modelers suggest, what can I say I'm a rebel.

Very pleased with the end results. This probably won't be the diorama I'll make but wanted to add figures for the photos.
