Ok thanks for the tips!

It looks pretty decent so far, but you'd be much better served posting your pics in the Armor forum. If you do that mid-build and ask for advice along the way, you'll quickly learn to master the sequence of steps that will give you at least a more satisfying and productive completion and finish.

I noticed many modelers attach cargo items and tools onto the tank, add their layers of spray, and then hand paint the cargo and tools.  How do they get the tools to be hand painted so close to where they touch or are glued to the tank hull without it being noticed?

Ok thank you for the advice and info!

Thlorian: For some weird reason since they updated the website you have to click on 'use rich formatting' at the bottom. Then click on the 'insert image' icon (looks like a little TV/monitor) and then enter the link in the box provided. 

The bottom photo is a little blurry but the model looks ok to me. Most people put the roadwheels on later since it's really hard to get in there to paint every little nook and cranny with them attached. I stick them to a board with tape and paint one side, let them dry and then the other. Meanwhile I paint the lower hull sides behind the wheels and when everything is dry attach them. 

Plmk if you can see the pics.  I entered the link of a web page that I uploaded the pics to but I can;t see them here?  Is there a special page/location here at FSM where I need to upload the tank pics first and then select that link as the insertion link?  Or is there a user error I made above?  The link should read at:
