80a2,
Looks good so far.
I have just one comment , and a slew of questions:
The only thing I would mention is in pic #2. The small, jagged, gap between the box over the passenger side fender and the edge going up towards the windshield(?) Or perhaps it is supposed to be like that.
What is the material over the seats? Is that the finished seat covering awaiting paint? Or is it 'cushioning' and another layer of something goes over that?
What is on the headlights? It is hard to tell from the photo angle.
Looking forward to seeing it progress. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the comments.
was away abroad so didn't had the change to reply sooner.
The stuff on the seats is the textile covers used by the IDF only the driver seat needs some more work.
the things on the headlights are headlight covers.
The shape of the toolbox on the fender is correct.
it still needs a lot of work gonna start on it soon...
the TOW lancer is almost done.

Very nice. I'm a fan of the M151, I happen to own a couple of 1:1 scale versions!
One comment - reguarding the spade (shovel), the blade actually fits into a curved pocket, not a bracket as many kits provide. Easy solution though, just take a plain spade and cap the tip.
Here's a pic (not one of my MUTTs) but this pic shows the spade pretty well.
