Looks great. I like the cammo scheme. Just one comment though, the rear photo shows that the corners above the storage bins on the back, have bright, clean unweathered paint. This area would trap grime etc. Good effort though.

Nicely muted dapple camo Karl. Usualy the dapple schemes look as if they come straight from the factory.
Two tips to help make things even better. The towcable seems to be resting on the front mudguard, but the hook which would attatch to the hull seems to be molded to the cable eye? And on the subject of pictures, try not to take them with flashlight or a single lightsource closeby as it creates very dark, strong shadows. If you can't take the pic's outside (overcast, grey day is best) try to use light from two or three directions, or even better use a fluoresend light (striplight) but make sure to correct the white balance on your camera if neccesary.
Good luck with the next one

Really good work. A few little things to help, if I may. Inside the muzzle should be black. Around the hull MG, raw paint is visible. The cursed gray DML plastic shows every time. These little touches make a good model great.

Looks good overall. I like the camo pattern and the colors used.
Couple of things - the jack, spare tracks, and tow cables look to monotone, clean, and aluminum color to me. The inside of the barrel needs to be painted black.
