A very clean model, excellent work and the weathering is not over done.
But....
It's a matter of taste. I prefer a more realistic look. Having been in the US Army and in a CAV unit I am familiar with the way armor looks, before and after being in the field.
So I would study some pictures and decide if your vehicle is on the way out to the field, in the motor pool or in the field on an operation. Right now it says I got a little dirt on me. Plus the color is too uniform, no vehicle is like that due to repaint jobs and just wear and tear. A little rust, a little dirt, a little grease and oil.
Armor is notorious for having leaks and grease and rust. Especially in an environment like NAM. It was wet at times and sun baked at other times, that takes a lot out of a paint job.
Otherwise a very impressive piece of work, neat looking.

I agree this is a very nice build of a great little vehicle. It looks very nice already but would look even better with a few local washes (or filters), some drybrushing and a few scratches here and there.
Will it eventually be in a dio or some groundwork maybe?
Please keep posting your work (especially it it’s Nam related!)
Best regards
