That looks pretty good. I would try to add shadows and highlights to the cover over the gun mantlet, though — it kind of looks like it’s a big piece of PVC at the moment 
All you would need to do for it to look much better is add a medium–dark brown wash and drybrush with a light brown.

Thanks Jakko for the feedback!
I finished the turret first, and now looking at the photos, there’s a big contrast.
I will try your tips tomorrow!

Is that a drawing of a hydrodynamic model? The dimensions have inch marks (") but there’s no way that the numbers make sense for feet, meters, or millimeters.

Here’s the caption of this drawing on Tank-encyclopedia.com :
“Schematics of the 1/12 scale model used for the coupled LVTP5 trials showing the size of the additional freeboard protection required.”
It originally comes from Drag Studies of Coupled Amphibians. (1966) by R.L. Van Dyck and I. R. Ehrlich. Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy.
