Impressive for a 72nd scale version. It appears the tracks may be a little to "redish" could be the same as the shine ------from the camera flash.

Thanks Steve.
The tracks are a little reddish but not as much as the picture shows. (I’m going to try taking the next batch of pictures outside.)

Also I should have listed in my post that I’ve just finished the camo and the next step will be to gloss it and add the decals and washes.
I’ll try to get better pictures of it up then.

I'd find a different color for the shovel heads and cleaning rods on the top of the hull. Look for a more black colored steel. The light gray looks too out of place. Otherwise it looks like you did a good job on the old Hasegawa Tiger kit.

Thanks Robin.
I’ll repaint the gray parts with a darker color. Would gunmetal work for them or would that be too dark?

The kit wasn’t too bad to bring up to date a bit.
I’ll get better shots of the parts in the next batch of pictures but I’ve added the slits in the vision port and details to the pistol guard on the turret. And cut out the spaces on the drive wheels. I think it help a lot in making it look better.
