Nicely done. I've built this one too. (See

). Curious about your choice of color. Did you find it an enjoyable build?

Very well done Dave, the weathering is excellent, for your first tank you have done a superb job.

Thanks I really enjoyed it. I snipped off the sprockets to fit the tracks too.
IIRC I used a mixture of Tamiya olive drab and other greens with lots of mucky washes.

I like it! The muck is great. I'd be tempted to put a few bones in it... I know, poor taste...

That's a very convincing build. Realistic weathering has really brought it to life. Getting weathering right is not easy as it can be overdone but you've got it spot on

However, for those who strive for a certain amount of realism…

I have to agree with all of the others. Very realistic weathering and finish overall! Your first Tank? It doesn't look like it is!
