Looks pretty good. Good job on the paint. The stencils are in the wrong spots on the LLM (Loader Launcher Module), rocket box though, they should line up with holes on the back and sides. They point out the places to hand crank it up/down, left/right, and the booms in/out. There is quite a bit of silvering on the decals as well. Why are your jury struts gold? They sould be dark green or flat black. Also, the boom would not be out in the raised position, it actually won't go out like that. You should have the LLM all the way down and off to one side of the hull. The tow pintle needs to be swapped out too. I don't know what Dragon was thinking when they put the claw-like thing on there. It is a standrd tow pintle like on any other modern US tank or APC. Pretty good job, just need to work on the details.

O.K., it is close, but that one is painted yellow for safety reasons. Only the center section is yellow as well. The end connectors are still dark green. It is sometimes painted yellow or red to remind the crew it is there. The vehicle can't be moved with it on. It works great for displays, but is really designed to hold the LLM up when doing maintenance.

I am building this one for the campaign, I hope mine comes out as good as yours. I am going to use yours as a reference guide to build mine. It looks amazing.
