Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to find the right flag I think red would do well but it may look too soviet. The classic Byzantine flag looks like this https://www.google.com/search?q=byzanti ... H0ryLrM%3A. Lego doesn't really provide anything like that so i'm going to make my own. Also the tank isn't quite finished i need to do the engine compartment in the rear just like on the kv x2.

I really like this, the turret is my favourite bit. The SNOT works particularly well with your use of studs as rivets. I like that light grey rather than dark grey is the main colour, and the dark grey details are nice variation too. If you want to get some colour in there you could try and work in a little striped flag/insignia like on this or this or this (I dunno where you'd try to incorporate that though, as the sides of your turret are all SNOT rather than the conventional way up, or if you can wangle a hollow stud somewhere you can pop a flower in there like in the last picture). Or you can cut out a little shape out of adhesive label paper and colour it in like here, hearts work well, or diamonds or triangles or whatever you like. Or you can just have it grey with a flag on top.

Nice footsoldier too, if you've got any a brown backpack might compliment his brown rifle.

Thanks Ikensall & Tastyskip! I've had that darn flower piece on my desk the entire time building this tank/mech and kept trying find a way of incorporating it into the build! The few stud insignia never came into my mind while building it! I see a lot in the twee group so next build i make will definitely have both! Its great having so input from a builder as great as you! So i have another question how do you guys do your custom banners and flags for your armies?

If you have this issue in the future, try using a different browser. Some might auto resize images to fit your screen while some might not give a shit.

A suggestion for that. If you get the image size app you can resize them before uploading them. Another way is use imgur and edit them when you upload.

You may want to consider using Imgur - it's an excellent website that allows one to store photographs and edit their dimensions.
