Here it is finished.
Dry brushed, weathered and so on.

Now it will be the Tamiya M151A2 with TOW Missile Launcher and Tracking system

So where Chris W does multi shades of grey you're now into all things olive drab. Henry Fordish or what? Seriously though it looks like it's coming along nicely.

Everything stuck together, slight weathering and some dry brushing.
Some more weathering to go and some dirt maybe?

Three more to build, all slightly different.
The next one will have a recoilless rifle fitted,

Which is better, the Tamiya or the Academy kit?
Well both have their merits and downsides.
The Tamiya is the easier build and has less detail, the Academy has lots of detail, but rubber tyres.
Each kit leaves you with spares, as some parts are used in each kit and others are not.
Looking at the models, it is difficult to decide which sits best.
