Looks great so far, but maybe the tracks could be weathered a bit more. Possibly a dark brown wash followed by drybrushing with steel over the high points.
Just my 2 cents worth, I'm sure you'll get more and better comment later.

thats very nice Max. Perhaps to make it look more like its in a sandy environment you could mist a light coat of buff onto the lower surfaces

Looks pretty good. The tail lights are off though. The upper right and upper left light should be amber as they are turn signals. See below:

Oliver, all the stowage comes in the new(ish) Academy OIF Warrior kit. It is a pretty nicely updated kit.

Looks good! Don't forget the glass and wipers on the driver's periscope.

Thanks for the excellent feedback. I am still trying to get the hang of weathering tanks and hope to improve as I build more AFV!

Overall good build with nice weathering but you went a bit heavy on the stowage. Looks like you've impeded the opening of the rear hatch and the rotation of the turret.

Looks great. The only small nickpick would be the weathering of the tracks that seems to be fairly clean compared to the rest of the vehicle.

Yup like the model mate, especially the weathering ot the hull not too overdone. Just a small niggle, the extinguishers look to be the old BCF type and so should be a deep brunswick green colour. The newer 2kg dry powder type are bright red.

This is a nice build.
great job overall.
So any hangs on the build were parts a good fit?
This Brunswick green you mention Max is this a Tamiya color?

No I don't think Tamiya does it but I think Humbrol do. It's a very deep bottle green. British vehicles in the late 50's early 60's used to be painted in it.
This is the closest I can find.

In fact this is a pic of one, has a slight gloss sheen to it.

The colour on British vehicles in the 50s'/60's was usually Bronze Green or Deep Bronze Green.
Hope this helps.
