Hi John: nice work. For future projects may I suggest the following?

1) your decals show lots of silvering. It appears that you are not applying the decals to a glossy surace. If you don't, the silvered edging will always appear. You should apply some clear gloss over the areas to receive decals. Once dry, you can apply the decals and later over coat the whole area with a flat/matte coat.

2) armor models are about small details. Note your storage items on the M36s exterior. The tracks and spare wheels on the front have no method of attaching them. Same with the box on the right side (which is actually an infantry telephone box from the rear of a Sherman tank) and the bed roll on the front right fender

3) make sure you paint the tool clamps and tool brackets Olive drab. It's curious that you've painted the shovel head bracket as worn steel as nothing would be rubbing the paint off of that surface.

Keep up the good work!

You also dr-brushed silver on top of rubber areas (on the spare road wheel and the spare track pads) This is not realistic

However, i do like your model. You are commended.
