I liked the camo painting, it is a good brush painting but I see some brush prints here and there especially on the TOW launcher.Chalkpastel weathering masks them very good.

I like the control you have with your brush. I like the pattern of the camo.
Couple of things I might would watch for on the next build, thin your paint a bit more, that will help reduce the brush strokes that are left. I would watch part alignment. The 'scope' and the barrel of the TOW aren't parallel.
What about the windscreen?
What I would recomend you do on this guy is add a bit of pastels as Engin suggested. I personally would add a consistant 'stripe' of red mud along each tire at the outside where the rubber meets the road. The jeep looks pretty muddy, and IMHO the type of mud I see is the sticky red stuff that would stay on the tires. If you're not going for mud, then let it ride.

Having to agree with the previous experienced guys i d have also to add that the interior of the vehicle especially in the back place seems a lil glossy , but maybe is from the picture. If not from this maybe is the thickness of the paint or maybe didnt mixed very well with the thinner. Prefer more coats of thinner paint than one to cover all. Keep the good job, and every model will be better than the previous
