This is a very good kit, plenty of detail. The tow cable wire are stiff to bend it to the right shape, some of the photo-etch parts need a small amount of modification. If I were to make another one, I would assemble the main six parts first to make it easier to fill and sand.

My suggestion for removing the "Stiffness" from your tow 'wire', is to heat it up over a candle, (Assuming it is actual wire), and this will do what is called, "annealing", (softening) and then your shaping to the desired shape/position will be achievable.
You can do the same with your etched metal parts that need to be curved or shaped to fit.
Have fun. 🙂

Here's my finished model, thanks Kerry for the softening tip. I airbrushed Tamiya Dark Yellow first, then highlighted with Model Master Dark Yellow 2102, and finished up with a dusting coat of Tamiya Buff.

Looks beautiful!!
If I.we're you, I would have added some mud streaking, a bit darker of a wash. But other than that l, superb job !! 🙂

Is this to be a desert based vehicle or a 'mid summer in Europe' beast, as the dust would have been all over them. ?

I went with the markings for 1945 East Prussia. On the weathering I first went it a black oil wash for the panels line, then that seemed to stand out so I redid some with a browner wash. Then with my airbrush misted on the Tamiya Buff for a dust look. Holding the airbrush about six to ten inches from the model and with a wild head, going back and forth, side to side to get a even mist coverage. This is really my first weathered up model, I'm slowing improving my weathering skills on each build I do. 😄

I love the thought of the 'dust storm' from a foot away from the model, and how perfect that thinking is. In fact, that is a great tip for doing lots of different "texturization" (a new word for scale modellers) for a scene.
Just imagine an Abrams under all that oil smoke from the burning wells in Iraq during the war, and how 'sooty' it would have appeared. !!!
