Looks very good! It's where you go from here that determines the individuality of the build. The lay of the decals on the zimmerit are outstanding!
A few nitpicking, detail flaunting, anal retentiveness: You may want to add a filter, after the topcoat and decals. This will help to blend the colors and give the decals a weathered look. I would recommend adding a little soot around the tops of the exhaust. The tracks should be oxide red. This primer was very durable, so I would recommend chipping only on the parts that touch the sprocket and those that would sink into the ground the most. You don't seem to carry the amount of weathering on the hull and turret over to the road wheels.
HOWEVER, the rule of thumb is to HAVE FUN! If you like the results or, even if you don't like the results, and enjoyed it model on. I do look forward to seeing your future builds.
