Love those fuel tanks, Mike
Right colour. weathering starting to take effect, all in all looking very very nice m8. I paricularly like the side of the turret where it almost like the top layer of paint is peeling away - looks frighteningly authentic.
Lovely stuff

I like your T34 Mike.
You might consider some light drybrushing on the high points---it would really make this model pop.
The fuel tank dents look great, as do the washes.
I plan on doing one of these shortly so I appreciate the in progress pics. Keep it up.

In addition to drybrushing, you might consider the addition of No. 2 pencil lead (graphite)to the corners/edges. Whether you apply it with the side of the lead directly, or scrape It onto sandpaper and apply it with your finger, it produces a nice "underlying metal" suggestion which is much more subtle than drybrushing w/ metallic paint. It works nicely on tracks, too.
