First thoughts are does it look like metal outdoors - check
After that its all about taste. For me, the only part I'd be a little disappointed with (and I mean only a little) is you've got some brush streaking on the forward hull. Could be down to a couple of things, use a flat head brush if you've got one and for vehicles of this colour, go easy on the white or yellow if you've used them. Tans and greens will bring out surface detail and will enhance the opacity of the paintwork. White and yellow are too harsh.*
For a first go it looks great and don't forget, you've still got other stuff you can put on top like pigments for dust, maybe even mist a matt coat over it. So many things to play around with.
Looks a cracker
