Here is the green dots finished, next is brown dots over some of the green dots, I think I may also redo the front as I think the spacing is to tight compared to the rest of the tank, what do you guys think? Thanks!

Jnewboy,
That KT with a little weathering will look even more amazing. Always loved these complicated camo jobs!
Love the "Eagle Owl" too!
Cheers,
Eric.

Thanks for all the kind words, I decided to redo the front dots on the brown, I'm glad I did, looks much better.

Thanks!
So as I said before, I had intended to go back over some of the green dots with brown...

Honestly, I dont know if I like it, I only did the front to get a look at it, I dont know if I want to do the whole thing, I may change it back to green. What do you guys think?

Sorry if you've already said, but are you planning to weather the model? If so, that would subdue the rather bright finish. If not, the dots will remain prominent so the colour choice remains more if an issue. Although l'm not a fan of heavy weathering, l think a thin wash of rain/dust would do the job.
