Looks great to me, I would be proud to show that on my shelf.  Damage is nice, maybe a bit more dirt considering how much lumps this thing took in the rear. But that's just nitpicking.  Go 1/48 armor!

Your first tank?  Great job!  Thanks for posting.  One item I see that could use changing are your drivers' hatches.  You have them on the wrong left/right hatches.  Look at the orientation of the periscope and you'll see what I mean.

I wouldn't have known about the hatches, but totally agree that it is one finely rendered piece of work.

Looks great, would never had guessed it was a first armour subject - but obviously you are not new to the hobby.

You could add some light dust/dirt, particularly the lowers, but since the subject is not on a base, we don't know what sort of setting it is sitting in.  One thing I noticed is the brackets holding the cables could of been painted in the main colour of the tank, ie. dark yellow.

regards,

Jack

Roy, that's a good catch, wouldn't have noticed it until you mentioned it.  For those who don't know, Roy is the president of AMPS.  I think I will need to post WIP pics for vetted on my 1/48 Tiger :)
