Well the dio is amazing. But this is one of the biggest problems that I have already seen. The decals on the back are wrong. It says “For Mother Russia”, it is written right, but the word For is accually ritten in russian and is not translated. It is one of the most sadest thngs that I have seen when a person like you do a great job and then a decal like this ruins everything. I know this thing because I speak russian. We already discussed this in another thread when some other person did a KV-1 with the same decal and it ruined the whole model. Guys next time send me the pic of the decal is you are not sure, and I will be glad to help you out. As for you, sorry about what happened, the model and the dio loos amazing, but the decal is wrong and it ruins it for someone who can understand russian, also it is not historically accurate.

Good job, and next time try not to make the same mistake with other russian and german models.

Wow, what a great litlte scene! The truck is amazing to look at, I love all the little paint chips, and it’s weathered great. As far as the decal issue, I wouldn’t have ever noticed, and I would have just chalked it up to the guy who put it on there as not being too well educated, poor peasent who can’t spell to well.
Great job.

Cheers guys…Am I the poor peasent who can’t spell to well.? …some say I am :slight_smile:

Wow, what a cool dio. Great whitewashing and the figures are well done too. It looks chilly looking at it.
