Ok 1st that camo looks great! 2nd It is a late war scheme and if the crew was lucky enough to get paint, then they may have done something like that. German vehicle commanders were given leeway as to the scheme they chose to paint their vehicles depending where they were and what theatre they were in. So some 251/1 might have worn this scheme. Again just have fun!!!!!

Maybe some crew were issued masking tape or paint rollers to get nice straight lines!

That's indeed a nice late war scheme, but the Tamiya kit is depicting a more or (rather) less correct pre/early war vehicle ... I'm not sure with the bolting, but most of the 251 were welded, later ones were way simpler constructed.
Seems you have done something in the interior, all in all it's looking good
Cheers
