I like the concept and you build looks very good. One minor technicality, Bradleys do not normally move with the TOW launcher erected. It is a stationary weapon and damage to the laucher can occur with it deployed. But for your diorama, it would be OK.

Looks good so far!

Make sure the cars suspension/wheels look like they are being compressed - since the weight of the Bradley is crushing the car. Also, "crack" the windshield, too. The car should also have a lot of dirt when you weather everything.
