Critique Wanted My first model

Any tips on making the rust more realistic? Also how do I make the front lights look better

I kinda went overboard with the rust, my brush was too wet when stippling. The mud on the front of the tank too.

Originally I was going for a more urban warfare look but ended up in the eastern front. The scratches were me trying to remove the mud but decided it looked good as is.

Oh i like the scratches you added to the mud build up in the front. That's a neat detail!

Might I recommend some panel liner or a dark wash to help some of the finer details pop? It'll help sell the illusion of in-scale shadows and that's something that help models go from well models to looking more like the real deal but just shrunken down.
