A detail that I've seen modellers do is add the recessed screwheads to the driver's visor and atop the commander's cupola. I found that my beading tool has been great for that. Line it up and press firmly into the soft Tamiya plastic. Great uniform circular impressions.

I'm not going to go add PE fenders or replace the lower rubber skirt (like my buddy Andrew Hall did with his). I just need to add some detail around the antenna and the tool clamps and I'll be ready with my Silly Putty camo job. Nice to finish this guy for sure!
