Nice kit, looks excellent, love the detail like the poster. The only thing I am not sure about is the dirt down the bottom but other than that it looks great.

It looks pretty good, especially for your first build. A couple pointers though. If it is supposed to be in Iraq, you used the wrong .50 cal MG from the kit You need to swap it out for the one without the BFA (Blank Firing Adapter), the end cap and rods on the barrel. These are only used in training when firing blank ammunition. Secondly, you have the rear lights wrong. Only the upper left oval is red. The rest are black slits since they are part of the blackout drive system. It should look like below.
You also have the unit markings reversed and mixed up. As in the above picture, it should have the division and battalion number on the left and the company number on the right. It should look something like: 3I-3-7I (left) and A-32 (right) These should also be the same on both the front and rear.
Keep up the good work and your model will get even better. Good job.
