Very nice work! Only "peace" and "jungle busters" didnt quite match to the rest

pretty cool models dude jungle buster looks pretty rad on the side!! and instead of the one tank that says peace you should put a skull or another bad ass phrase on the side instead!!! I think that would look cool just my opinion tho not telling you to do it

I think Id use the airbrush option for painting that on the side so its not so bright. . . . Maybe a bit of scratches through it or something to dull it down a bit and it would look sweet! The models themselves look great

Looks better. Slap some dirt / chunky mud on those puppies and some tree branches and your ready for combat.

Nice model, and a good job.

My criticism would be the wheels need a little more geometry as they are a little too simple at the moment and not really selling it to me. The tracks appear wrong to the reference I found and could do with a little more attention to get them more believable, same with the body of the tank, again the references I found have fuel cans attached to the back, the front has a "splash guard" or what ever its called. Add a few little details to make the model a little more realistic it would look better for it.

As for the texture, I would use a stencil font for the "grafitti". simple to do and would look more realistic in my opinion. Add some dirt, you dont have to go nuts but enough to make it look like it has been used. Add some wear on areas that would get high use.

A great reference is the guys that make the plastic kits, Airfix etc I use these all the time. The guys on those forums will often happily snap a few extra reference shots if you ask for stuff you cannot see and if you ask nicely will even supply colour codes and their own reference and decal sheets.

Great, now we just need 1960s era US army and Vietcong characters to go with it!
