1/72 Die Cast Stryker repaint

A recent issue of Military Vehicles Magazine, here in the UK recently profiled the M1126 Stryker ICV, and gave away a 1/72 die cast model of it. Whilst being nice and shiny, and  more importantly, the right scale
it just didn't look right, so I gave it a repaint, and dirtied it up somewhat, to go from this:



to this:







Here's some shots, with Elhiem figures :





Hope you like. It was an enjoyable little project to paint up

The tires doesn't look right too me.
Don't understand why.

[Taffydude]

Probably because they were crappy vinyl ones on the model.

This is a fine paint job.
Maybe the "splash" on the tires are a bit too big ?
Don't know.

For me it's just good. Watch some operations pics and you'll see that depanding the location of the OP, vehicles dirt and weathering are very similar, even worse sometimes.
