Nice looking model you've got there Jeff. Antenna appears to me to be a little too fat, only thing that looks off. Other than that, your weathering is good!
Congrats on your award! Thanks for sharing your work!
Cheers -

I can see why you won 2nd place! It looks really nice, especially with the subtle shading. The antenna, well ok, that's the only thing that's off but we can ignore it.
Great job Jeff!

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I'm primarily an airplane modeler but do dabble in the occasional armour subject.

Nice built kit and very realistic weathering. Still long way for me to go.
