Nice! :). It is a prototype model with a cast turret and other parts. Color is interesting as well.

Some work has been done on the hull; it was sanded and primed by brush in the tricky parts with Mr. Hobby dissolved putty. I love Mr. Hobby dissolved putty, it is the best thing to hide layer lines. With a bit of ASB/PETG glue added, it is pretty good to create surface texture (with stabbing brush motion).

For the last couple of days I was focusing on small details. Torsion springs were added to the driver's hatch... and magnets to hold it locked :D .
