First off, I really like this. There are a few things that would help to make it much more correct though.
You have chipped the headlight shrouds aand other parts of the hull showing rust underneath the paint. These areas are made of aluminum and will not rust that way. The hubs on all of the wheels should be sand colored, even on the green wheels.
As you look at the headlight clusters, the right hand light on each should be gloss black. The ones on the left, for best appearance, could be drilled out and replaced with MV lenses or something similar.
On the barrel there should be a ring with bolts on it. See photos to see what I mean. THose are the main things that strike me at a glance.
It is a very nicely finished model though.

Looks like a fun build.
Btw, just for entertaining, anyone want to build one of these? Hahaha!
Happy modeling!

German howitzer silencer used on a test range so the local population wasn't
bothered by the noise.

Yup, the world's largest silencer. Looks like tank porn but it actually existed.
