Wow - you did that in a weekend. I need your weekend man!!! #:-)

Nice job. Was the camo done with a brush or AB?

One thing that would be easy to add and that people look for is the electric cable to the light on the front. I don't know where it runs but a bit of old electric wire or stretched sprue would do the trick.

Congrats for the speed and the speed/quality ratio. Just a curiosity: is it OOB or did you use any aftermatket/scratchbuilt item on it?
Ciao
