The vehicle itself is fantastic. Very nice weathering overall. I would give the rucks a little more attention though - some contrasting shades, and perhaps a few straps hanging down.

Beautyfull work especially the weathering.

Rob is right for the rucks.
Another thing. The chevrons should be positionned so that they all are pointing clockwise around the vehicle. The squares under the re 30 , AFAIK are not white but armour colour.

I've just finished mine so I remember all these little things

For the decals I used the Bison decal sheet 35005 brit AFV's iraq 2002/2005

Hope this will help you.

Really nice model with a spot on chipping effect. I have one point though, your rucks are US Alice ones and are not suitable for a UK vehicle.

Excellent model! I will aspire to do at the same level as well as you))) Unfortunately in Russia in general are not present anything on an English armour, and to order through the Internet from England meanwhile it is unprofitable = (

Thanks, are very pleasant))) But as I already spoke in Russia are not present anything on the English armour, there was this set of firm tamiya, unique on a modern armour = (((

Dragon has British Burgan bags in both their Desert Rats from ODS figures and the SBS Kayak set. Accurate Armour also make a set of British Burgan bags. The US ALICE packs look out of place and detract from the model. It would look better without them.

Leave the rucksacks off. they are blocking the cab doors which are opened once the Gun is in position. also the bins on the sides are for personal kit (rucksacks). otherwise an excellant job on this kit, very beautiful paint job.
Ubique.

The Bergens are in the right place,even though the side bins are for kit they are also placed in between them.But they are the wrong one,try accurate armour.
The reason why i know that they are in the right place is because i was once an AS90 Gunner before retrading.

Also the inverted v is also in the correct place,however the squre with the callsign in doesnt have a white back ground.

Heres my example,hope you like.
