Some updates after a few washes (shout out to TigerII for his excellent explanation on how to make my own! Thanks Tiger.) It really did help pull the paint job together. Also, i’ve done some experimental weathering with pastels to dirty the tank up, and added some rust and grime streaks.
Thanks for taking a look!
All of these techniques are still very new to me, so thank you again all for the information.

Hey RainDog, thanks for the shoutout. The washes you applied really toned down the camo scheme. Excellent job. I definitely love the netting on the gun, that is a definite ambush technique. Nice job so far. Looking forward to your completed work.
If I may: to my eye, the roll of netting on the gun tube is too fluffy. German tankers often tied some chicken wire netting to the tube and then inserted leafy tree branches. The can be replicated with tulle or bridal veil material. Spend $1 and get a few inches at your nearby fabric/sewing store. Hope this helps
