construction looks good, nice paint job; like the red primer paint for the missing fenders. Figures are interesting. Your tracks are nicely muddied up, but what about the rest of the tank. Believe me, with the missing fenders all that mud would be splattered all over that tank. It appears to me that weathering stopped with the tracks. We had a bent fender on my M60a1 back in the day and we ran out from a muddy firing range onto the range road and we were flinging mud from the tracks 15 or so feet in the air in big clods.

The one thing that jumped our at me when looking at he pics was how shiny the wheels looked, are you trying to imitate wet mud? If so you need to mix up a few brown colours and not just one overall colour....and add some substance to yoru mud, either with acrylic resin, or some Mr Surfacer mixed with some pigments.,.....that would help give the wheels a more realistic look.
Other than that, that is a very good Tiger II, and the figures are excellent, well done!
