    I think, not half bad mate.
    Is it a 48th scale Tamiya?

    Constructive (I hope) criticism (well, you did put it on the Internet, and I'm nicer than Za or Owen, who may pop up later) :

    Weathering/wear on top panel very very good indeed.
    Overall impression of upper half most pleasing (sort of reminiscent of a longstanding museum exhibit).
    Running gear looks a little sparse though, tyres need painting, or hiding with mud.
    Overall - bloody good stuff, and unlike me, you actually finished the thing!

    I might actually start a kit today, so you can criticise that in a few years time ;)

    I'd like to pick a few nits, if I may... Adam, wheel tyres (I checked the word, and yes, tyres do not have to be pneumatic, they may be solid) in tracked systems may become so caked with some types of clay-rich mud that all subjacent rubber colour becomes indistinguishable. In fact, the entire running gear will become the same colour as your wet clay clogging. No photos, just 20+ years in construction :D

    Now if I really wanted to be a right arsehole, I'd say that in your rear deck top view, 6th photo of the set, the side air intakes are blanked off, they don't have any depth. Nothing that a bit of black paint wouldn't cure, but it will require a lot of care as the model is finished already!!

    Also, that Matilda rear tank still shows a two-parts joint. It's infuriating that to the naked eye things look absolutely perfect, but one takes a picture and faults just jump at you. Maddening!!

    I love it, mate.
    I've put stuff on here that I thought looked great, then the harsh eye of the camera always made me go 'oh'. Great way to take a new look.
