Thanks, I appreciate your comments. It looks like the tracks are a bit too slack - need to decide whether it's worth the risk trying to fix this or leave as is.

Having been able to get a lot of bench time this weekend. I have a few things I want to add to the vehicle (spare tracks, ammo boxes, etc,) to give it a more "operational" look and less of a sparse look.

Thanks! I really appreciate you looking in.

Thanks for all the feedback, It took me a while, but I'm ready to call this one finished! I learned, imitated and copied many - if not all - techniques from the many excellent modelers on this site and from others sources and ended up learning and enjoying myself a tremendous lot. After all, imitation is the best form of flattery! Here's the finished pics:
