Overall, pretty nicely done. The weathering on the Famo is excellent. I'm going to assume the gun has been recently mounted, since it doesn't reflect the same level of wear and tear (from what I see in the pics). The paint on it just looks fresher.

One question I do have is why are the rails on the shell loading tray polished? While there may be wear showing in the tray from the shells being rammed, the edge lips probably would only experience some chipping.

Very nice with a good choice of the red oxide door and splinter shield.

Looks very nice indeed. What gave you the idea for the contrasting gun color? I do have one request for a picture(s) from scale eye level. Would like to see it as the photos of the real vehicle depict!

You know in real life germans sometimes dont have enought rime to make full repair of their vehicles so we can supposted that this could happen, and shield and doors could be replaced in hurry on field
this is my point of view
