Just to repeat myself (I had not seen this thread), very good.

I especially like the paving, what did you use?

That's a great looking base . And Crusader . It looks like you've added exhaust stains to the rear boxes on each fender . IRC those are air intake / filters like the Fiefels  on Tigers . Photos of the Bovington Crusader show the exhaust in the middle of the  rear grating  on the rear hull plate . It looks to be about 18 inches long and about 2 inches wide so its real easy to miss . I can remember painting up those boxes as exhausts  back in my 1.35 scale hobby days
