Looking very nice indeed - just one suggestion, when it comes to the weathering stage, pay a bit more attention to the muffler. One suggestion is to use paint mixed with baking powder and then rust weathering powders. This was the area which really became heavily weathered ue to the heat of the exhaust.
Personally, I wouldn't advocate much in the way of 'chipping' the quality of the german paint would go against this...
Really nice camo pattern, like this a lot...Jim
Baking powder is a good idea....I may also try pastels, I don't know yet. 
Martin, it's looking very good! A suggestion? This kit really does benefit from etched tool clamps, if you don't fancy cleaning the block from the supplied tools, it's even worth it just to put the etched 'U' shape around it, a 100% improvement. May I ask what ammo belt you used for the MG42? Is it with the kit?

Great looking camo How did you tone down the green and redbrown paint? I have airbrushed on camo in the past but it doesn't look as great as yours does

I sprayed at low air pressure with a mix of 50% paint - 50 % thinner....
I'm just trying things out now with this sort of camouflage painting.....
