How did you like building that kit? Did you add some mesh to the engine deck grills? Overall it looks nice. I might suggest a little more dust on the tracks, but otherwise I think it has the look of the brand new Panthers at Kursk.

Great job!  Weathering is really at your discretion.  Although, I would recommend a pin wash to set off the detail.

The tracks already have dirt on them, the idea is it just rolled off the train for deployment, thus very light weathering.

The kit was fine, I added the screens using nylon mesh.

Looks good, Chris. Especially nice work on the figure details----waffenfarbe, headgear etc. Yes

From another point of view---weathering doesn't have to mean that the tank got dirty from the elements. There's a whole other school of weathering that involves distressing the finish to simulate the effect of light/shadow, and small chips, or the rusting of bare metal which inevitably occurs, etc. Just something to think about.
