I think you've done very well. She looks a little clean is all. Maybe add some dirt and stowage. Are you going to put it on a base?

Make sure by the end you add an antenna. The wash around the front deck where driver and bowgunner spots are is heavy. If you could tone it down a bit it would look more consistant.
Then as suggested some pastels or dusting of tamiya buff or pollyscale dust to dirty it up a bit.
Overall it's a good solid job.
