Looks good so far, I would continue the green and brown on the mantlet all the way to the bottom. The ring on the commander's cupola should also be unpainted steel, it was the mount for the AA MG.
When you get that far the tracks should touch down on the second set of road wheels (first outside set) from the front.

Sean, you painted this with xtra colour? Looks alright, though the cammo should be more of a contiguous pattern. instead you painted it in sections. Remember many crews painted their tank using a spray gun, or in the rare cases, a broom lol. There is a lack of cammo flow to be honest. I dunno, try a wash and see how that works, it definately needs to be done to bring out that zimmerit that you work so hard and long on! It's a great start, but look at the cammo as the cammo of a spitfire lol...

Before worrying about anything else, you might want to fix the gunners sight hole(s) in the mantlet which you have pasted over with zimmerit. It looks as though you have done the same with the coax machine gun port as well. Your paint job needs some serious help. Try to start over and at least spray the base dark yellow from a rattle can, you need a good flat base coat, then you can apply the dark red and olive green. Even a cheap Wal-Mart Aztec will give better results.
