I love the front suspension. No pics of the rear, though- do you have springs back there too, or is the independent suspension only in your story?

The panels and flags on the top and the canopy mounting add some neat shaping.

The gun is pretty cool, especially with the rotation click-hinge mounting. I like the engine, though a little more detail wouldn’t hurt (like some round 1x1 plates under the grill tiles). The upper pods (are those your grenade launchers?) could use some better detailing inside the top gap.

The tan and greys color scheme works pretty well, though the yellow wheels are a bit jarring.

Overall it’s a neat build- but with a few improvements and a bit more attention to detail it could be great.
