It's looking good !
what model is this ? Tam, DML, zvezda ?
Have you done a Dry Brush on it yet ? It helps a lot to show the small detail.
Are these rusty spots on the top deck ? They are maybe a bit too big. maybe you could tone them down with a filter, or by "dusting".

penpen ,
its tamiya's model 43 model with a metal gun barrel and mesh that I cut from
Accurate armours mesh got some maqutte indi tracks coming for it too,
penpen being new to weathing ect what colour would be best to tone it down? and is it to big on the turret or engine deck and should I seal it with varnish before hand going to drybrush in a bit once a bit more weathering has been done :-)

Looking pretty good so far.
Two comments:
First, cut some sheet stock to size, paint the back black and fill in the space that will be behind the drive wheels so light doesn't show through.
Second, there's a seam or mold parting line on the mantlet. I don't know enough about the T-34 to say this should or shouldn't be there. You might want to check references for that.
