I like the long chips down the major seams.
The few that are in the middle seem a bit 'positioned', there are only a few so it's not a big deal.
The jerry cans look to clean (maybe they're not finished yet)

I think they are a bit too much. Looks to me like everything has been outlined with a marker. If you go back and drybrush with the base color to tone them down some. I think it would look better, less planned, more random.

Karl,

Very nice looking!! It really looks like rust showing through the chips..Just 1 suggestion though, you might want to consider putting less chips, in a random manner, so as to make the tank look even more realistic.

Cheers!
Alan
