Oh that looks great! 

I dunno about the colour, maybe a little sand to dull down the orange with an earth tone? Grey should work too.

Hmmmm;

       I bet you definitely wanna protect yer ears when that baby goes " Boom"!  Nice job so far. That's one nice thing about Armor, Ya kin put it almost all together before painting anything. By the time it's weathered whose gonna notice a tiny missed spot anyway?

Very much so! I love being able to assemble the darn thing and then paint. Not so much masking either. 

And I hope the driver gets the heck out of his position under the gun breech before you fire that monster!!! 

Great job, looking forward to getting back and painting her!!! Yes

I did the free-hand camo,and then redid it... actually not too bad I must say. Ammo paints as called out in the kit (not 100% on the sand yellow but with some weathering should tone down) thinned with Ammo transparator. Some overspray but, again with weathering, should tone down....

So, I'm guessing, Doctrine was to drive, slew the tube 180º and serve the thing from the lockers in the former turret ring?

Seems easier than ring the track up, 180º the track in place, and serve the tube through the driver's hatch.
