It's a bit hard to tell in these photos. From what I can see the engine deck does look good, the lines pop out nicely. The TC's copula sides look good too. The four rectangular panels on the back right mud guard/track guard seems to have a bit to much on the inside (first photo).

One nit picky point I noticed that has nothing to do with your wash is the pad on the TC hatch has an ejector pin mark in it.

Looks to me like you are heading down the right track. As you work on your weathering techniques, keep some reference photos handy to compare your work to and let your instinct be your guide. I may be different from most people, but since I consider my wash to be part of the weathering process , adding grime to the recessed areas and all, I tend to start my washes after I have completed the construction of the kit.
