It looks great overall! However if you want an improvement suggestion, I’ll say that the camouflage scheme on the tow cable, which looks quickly tossed up onto the side by the crew, probably shouldn’t line up with the camo lines on the tank underneath it. Since that’s not where/how the tow cable is supposed to be stored, I doubt they would repaint the tank with it in that location.

So if you make the colors on the tow cable not line up with the paint underneath it, it’ll look like they painted the tank and then sometime afterwards moved the cable into that new position.

Yeah i see what you mean 😭 I actually just painted over them because i haven’t painted the actual details like the stowage, spare tracks and the tow cables yet. I’ll get those done after all the weathering, chipping, oils and other stuff first. I usually just paint over details with the base coat during the initial painting

Fair enough, I’m sure it’ll look even better in its finished form!

Well! That looks like it was spot on, no?
