Looking real good! Not too dirty and not too clean... :hmm:

I like this finished build! Only, maybe you could get rid of the slightly gloss appearance of the rear mud flaps and the rust on top of the engine deck?
Your way to do an ambush pattern is different to what one is used to see! Get it a base that is slightly larger as the tank, shouldn´t take too much valuable space.

Will do Thomas...although the scheme was one from the Tamiya directions?

Haha! Jeeves, I don´t have Tamiya´s instruction in my mind this minute, so I am confident you know better!
On the rust ontop of the engine bay door: the large circular thingie should be an air inlet. Nothing that would rust IMHO, aside from the tank being submerged for about 60 years... :quotes:

Hope you won´t hate me, Mike, but I would suggest one last thing:
The inside of the mortar barrel would look great with some gun metal or steel paint inside.

I really dig the dust on the running gear and the tracks! :shoutout:
The picture with the crew member and one of those rockets looks stunning!!!
