thanks every one for your kind words.
rebelreenactor: I know what you mean about the desert camo... and thanks for trying tp help out with the pics. I dont know if I'll ever figure out how to post pics :)
armydogdoc: This is Acadamy's 1/35 M3 CFV I got it off ebay for the backwards build but didnt pay attention to where I was buying iy from so I got a korean version (with instructions in Korean) Im pretty sure theres the same kit available in the states in english but Im not sure
diggeraone: believe it or not, its already weathered. For right now I dont plan on displaying it in a diorama so I wanted it to appear as if it was siiting in a motorpool hence no mud. I did dry brush chromo on alot of the areas I think would get a lot of where and tear, hinges and leading edges and such Also the tracks are painted Base coat of steel w/ flt blk pad and dry brushed with chrome and rust for weathering. I think I may have gone over board with the rust though.
claymore: Ive sprayed a coat of testors dull coat over this thing so it looks about right to me but the flash does make it worse. I have a real POS camera thats not real good at close ups :(
all in all Im really happy with how this turned out minus the bumper #'s, Im thinking about redoing them and instead of painting the number using a map pen and writing them on. Cant look any worse can it?

I guess it comes down to build what you look, like what you build. Not bad for my first armour kit I dont think :)
Thanks again guys
