Looks great so far How did you do the zimmerit? The only thing to me is is that the bare metal for the tools looks to shiny? I am guessing they will toned down when you weather it some more Personally I use Humbrol gunmetal for tools and any bare metal spots Like I said it looks great so far Please post more photos when you can

Great job on the KT.. One suggestion I would make is to use some microsol on the decals to get them settled in on the zimmerit.. Other than that, I think it looks GREAT...

I think the konigs is too clean! Spatter it with mud and crud! Also, IMHO, I think your tracks are a bit too rusted... suggest tone it down with heavy gunmetal/black wash or mud... (the steel drybrushing is good though)
And maybe the exhausts could have a black drybrushing to make them dirtier. other than that, the model is built well with excellent zimmerit and i really like your camo job.

I assume the 2% left is the weathering? so I will not comment about the model being too clean, but I see it is well and clean build. I specially like the fading of your camo.
What I would like to comment on is a little highlight drybrushed in the rusty areas like spare tracks and mufflers. I don't know if your muffles are smooth or chipped on the pic, but if they are smooth then some baking soda mixed in with the paint could help. also your tracks would need a black wash.
