The photos that are clear show nice work. The brown in the AAV7A1 is too reddish and should be more of a chocolate brown, but that's just my opinion.

The mud is well done on all of them, but I do not like the grass sprinkles on the Maus. It looks too out of place on a slow, lumbering behemoth like the Maus.

Do the prongs on the hedgerow cutter on the Cromwell have silver color on them? If so, I'd tone it down a notch, perhaps cover it with dirt, mud, etc.

Overall, nice work.

Thanx Sabot, the paint scheme on the Amtrak is meant to be heavily faded, and I'm sorry about the grass sprinkles on the Maus, and the Silver tipped prongs on the Cromwell, it's just i wanted to show wear and tear!!

Don't be sorry, you built it as you wanted too. That's all that matters. I like the Challenger, which kit is it?

I like the camo scheme you did on the Maus. Was that done with an airbrush, or is it hand-painted. Either way, looks very good.
