Sorry for late answer. Unfortunately, since Your drawing seems to be no longer available, I can give only rather imprecise suggestions, based on what I remember (so this may be not a complete list).
1) As Laforest mentioned - tracks were the weakest part of the drawing. They looked like they were cast in one piece. Also, what made them look even more awkward is that - if I remember correctly - around the drive wheels they took rather strange shapes (on rear wheels they seemed to even largely cover them from the viewer's perspective);
2) also the road wheels could be improved - especially their central (white) part, which looked somewhat square-ish;
3) I have a feeling that more detailing could be included in the coupling between both sections and of that carrier platform;
4) perhaps I'm wrong, but I have an impression, that generally the drawing was short on shading, also, I have a feeling that in some places the black lines could be replaced with simply dark shades of the colour of the part in question.

DAF Pantrado 3 pantserwagen

Dutch armoured car, in development before the German invasion.

Image

Developed by DAF from their Trado truck suspension system, the Pantrado 3, M.39 Pantserwagen was designed to be built locally as a reconnaissance vehicle for the Dutch army. Production had just started before the invasion, and only 3 vehicles were able to be deployed in an ad hoc manner against the Germans.
After the Dutch capitulation the vehicles were impressed into the Wehrmacht, with all vehicles eventually being lost against the Soviets.
Post-war there was a plan to restart production for both the Netherlands and Belgium, but eventually light tanks were chosen for the role.

Vickers 6-ton Mark E in Finnish service

Finland ordered 32 Vickers 6-ton Mark E tanks from Britain in 1936, but delivery only started in 1938. The tanks were ordered without turrets or guns, or even seating, as these items were to be locally produced in Finland to give Finnish industrial content.

Image

When the tanks were used for war games in mid-1939 the guns were not yet ready, and a temporary fitting was made of guns from obsolete Renault FT-17 tanks, and nationality marks had not even been applied.
By the start of the Winter War only 10 guns had been built, and the Vickers were not able be used as a cohesive force by the Finns. By the time of the armistice ended the War the Vickers had not been able to make a noticeable difference to the Finnish war effort.
After the capture of numerous Soviet T-26 tanks, the surviving Vickers were re-gunned and fitted with replacement optics from the Soviet tanks. The new vehicles were referred to as T-26E by the Finns.
