Very cool. The models does not transform, but can be taken apart and reassembled in either mode?

OK, took me a while, but there appears to be an inconsistancy. Did you weather it in parts? Or fully assembled?
For a kit like this, I'd weather it as if it were in tank mode all the time, so an weathering and wear would be consistent. Then, when it transforms, you might end up with a streak of oil that is now horizontal. I believe this is what you did. Did you study modern armor pictures to see how real tanks weather?
In picture #6, on the mid track section, there appears to be a streak of oil/grime between two boltheads on the armor skirt that is going at a 45 degree angle (on the bent up forward part of the track). It seems kind of odd for an oil streak to be there. Even those these are futuristic thingys, they are still machines, and you shouldn't have an oil streak where ther shouldn't be any oil. The armor skirts around any tank will be beat up, dirty, dusty, etc, but I'm hard pressed to think of how they would get oily.
Ok, that was my nitpick. The back of the tank looks kind of clean considering how muddy the tracks are, but other than that. it is very well done.

Mark, you are correct, I weathered in parts as I found it easier to do so, and yes, I didn't really study tank pictures nor did I plan ahead on what I wanted to do, I also thought the oil would look good
as for the direction of the marks on the mid-sections, they can come in 2 directions (depending on the transformation), that's why it looks like that
also yes, the model doesnt transform, it needs to be disassembled and reassembled (that's easy to do as most parts are connected with polycaps, no need to worry about scrapping paint away)
thank you all for the comments, this will help me a lot the next time!

Very nice!
Hopefully I can make mine look just as good, or close to it.
