Looks are great, the idea is very creative, detailing is also great (when u break, the lamps on the back turned on, etc). But the maneuveribility (on land) is not great, the tracks are slippier and always drift even when moving strait forward. Maneuveribility on water is also a big issue, it was slow and could only move about 3-5ish mph. While most amphibious tanks could go around 30-45ish mph. Improve it while you still have time :D
