Left off the skirts as I had trouble getting them to fit correctly. This is most likely a build error somewhere along the line. It's a pity as it rather shows up the "rubber band" tracks.

 

Although the tracks are not bad looking, they never look natural because of their rigidness. As you don't have the skirts fitted, it's not too late to remove the kit tracks and substitute Fruilmodel ones instead. Believe me, they are not difficult to assemble, just tedious. Failing that, if you want to stay with the kits items, just glue them down to the tops of the road wheels. That will stop them having that "floating" look.

All that said, you've produced a damn fine looking model. Nice one.

+1 ... the model  is very nice and the dusted camo scheme is spot on, metal  tracks would be a justified upgrade !

 

I assembled Friul tracks yesterday, cleaning included, it took me about 2h and a half... worth every minute, believe me
