The pics are a bit too small, but from what I can see the steel on the tools is way to silvery. I realize that you have weathering to do yet, but I would recommend that you dull the steel to a darker finish.
As a note for the next one.Most tanks were painted at the factory with all the tools in place. In other words the tools would be painted OD, whereas you could then weather them accordingly as they were used or not in the field.

Thanks for idea i will mix the steel color with a little gun metal that should darken them up, next time i will make the pictures larger. This is why i posted it here to get ideas like this thanks again.

Looking good so far on your M10
Base coat looks really good, and I like the job you did on the markings.
You should post more pics
Cheers !
