Hi Siegmund, Nice tanks, The weathering looks good. It may be the photo's, but maybe a little contrast weathering on the lower half ( with something like tan or sand color) would bring a bit of definition to the models.
One thing I think you should do something about is the spare track on the glacis plate of the T-34. As it has no detail or definition on the inside (i.e. the side you see), it looks wrong. If you don't want to remove it, maybe cover it with some camouflage or foilage.
But for this scale they are nicely done. Don't forget to post a picture of the commander when he's finished.

Cheers
Henk

The spare track has inside details, but you can't see them on the pictures. There wasn't any sun today.

The inner track face detail is quite faint on the Revell kit, but it does exist. A dark wash may help enhance the look of it.

That Churchill looks good. A bit of mud around the tracks & bogies as they were notorious for picking up any muck that was on the ground. I built the Esci version with the AMCR mine exploder - nice kits for the age of the moulds.
