Other than that fire extinguisher, it looks great!
The problem I have with the FE is that while the unit, itself, may be new, the mounting bracket and straps would be body colored. It's a minor thing, but with the wear and tear on the rest of the tank, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Looks awesome! If I where to give any feedback (not that I can finish my own models to this standard... ) it would be that you might want to consider some more contrast between the parts. Right now it becomes a bit blurry when looking at it. Maybe the tracks could have been finished without whitewash for example?
Bob: The idea of leaving the fire extinguisher in bare sandyellow was to create of focuspoint on the model, as the spare roadwheels and the worn leather cushin on the commanders hatch, but I see what you mean. it especially stands very much out in the second Picture. maybe a White whash on the mounting brackets would do the trick, as you cleverly suggest.

I believe it would. If nothing else it would give the viewer the feeling that it belonged on the tank, and just wasn't added as an afterthought. The clean extinguisher bottle would still be enough to act as your focal point.
Like I said, you did such a great job on the rest of it. Do up the bracket and straps and you'll have a real showstopper.
