very nice but there are few things that you should take into account. first of all is the canteens, they are painted in a metal colour but these were covered with a sand coloured cloth, the metal would shine when the sun hit it, as well as becoming very hot during the day!
secind, you could add more stowae items too the rear of the vehicle, all the pictures and personal accounts i have seen and heard state that these vehicles were laoded to burtsing point...they had extra walls that they could add too the sides o the vehicles to help contain their loads called "Greedy Boards".
You have done an excellent job of weathering the vehicle but what about the British troops, they appear to be very clean...you could add a few pain chips to their helmets and dust them up a little.
just a thought
I did have doubts about the canteens but so far Tamiyas instructions are to paint it aluminum and I've seen a couple of dios with the same finish. The figures are actually horrible. Old molds from Tamiya. I became too lazy to finish them. I did make some modifications like bend the legs, change the arms etc. Anyway, I did expect these comments on the figs.
About the stowage.
Obviously some are still on the ground.
Pastels are really nice to work with.
THanks man.
