Wow I don't think I can add much more

I was wondering about the paint scheme on desert armour with the mix of tan and light blue and I think I worked it out , is this to hide it on a horizon and alter the shape so it makes it hard to identify?

Nice weathering. And it is good to see some closeup shots.

 

[Laurie]

Very nice Scott. I like that crinkle finish of the gun barrel juncture at the turrett.

The blue was in fact not blue, if that makes sense...

The actual colours used where Slate, Silver Grey and Light Stone. The Silver grey was very prone to fading/bleaching under the hot desert sun and it took on a pale blue tone. So a newer tank would be more grey, ones that have been there a while, would end up the pale blue grey..
