Nice colours and weathering. A little confused by the flock - is it meant to be camoflage applied by the crews or divets thrown up onto the tank?

The flock is suppose to be vegetation flicked up by the tank driving through wet grassy fields. I guess it does look right?

Looks good mate. Ive been tempted to get one of these to be a Captured Tank for my SCW Nationalist force.

Yes it does, but some dark earth on one side of it might help (mixing up a little course polyfilla with dark brown paint and dabbing it to one side of each grass clump). Now it might look like a tank that's been unused for months and that grass has started to grow on it - that grass is just a little too clean.

I have no idea - I tried lookign breifly for reference photos without luck.

Regardless, it's a good idea that I'm saving for later.

That is a good idea von Lucky. I will give it a try.
