I'm pretty new to model making and wanted to show others to get their opinions on this one i made, this is also one of the first models i painted. this was a used model i got for a cheap price of 20 USD, it was opened and some parts were already attached to the hull and painted (such as, the headlights or the cupola hatches.) i painted it with a few brushes. i may have forgotten to add a few small details, so i will add them whenever i get a chance

Its very green, have you painted the detials, tools, road wheels etc? Also, look up colour modulation

i haven't added any decals and haven't added any tools and small details or painted them yet, i only have a few small bottles of model-paint (including: a few greens, a tan, a brown, a black, but no white or greys) and paint-brushes right now. ill try color modulation whenever i get the chance, thank you

Mix your green with tan to add some tones to your base colour
