Ok, the photos are not the best quality, but I'm quite happy with how this turned out. It's my first effort at an oil wash and it seems to have made a big difference

Looks pretty good from what I can see. It looks glossy, but could be the lighting. The MRE boxes are wrong on it though. They are modern ones. In ODS (as the vehicle depicts), they were flatter and less of a cube. The tracks need some weathering too, they look too clean and new, like rubber too. Lastly, take the spare track off the front. Its not a Panzer IV, the US doesn't carry tracks that way. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Gents!

I'll fix up those bits Gino: tracks, MRE boxes etc. Th pics do make it look more glossy that it is, but it's probaly not as matt as it should be either.

Cheers,
Sean
