Can you, in your expertise, tell me what colour the one in Bovington is? As far as I can tell from the pics it could be either green or brown
Bovington's Mark IV is now a sort of milk-chocolatey brown and marked as a training tank. When it was filmed for 'Soldiers' it was a greeny colour.
This Mark IV in Brussels is still allegedly in its original colours (with nearly 90 years of weathering/oxidation etc)

Hi, I really have serious doubts about the correctness of the colour you used, I think you should be safer using the brownish colour (see example from my latest dio)
secondly I think your dio is to big, you have a lot of uninteresting free space, try making it smaller next time, should work better that way
and finally I believe your trees are a bit to green , toning them down with darker green would help !
cheers
