Not bad, though as far as the desert one goes, the Germans favoured sand brown while the British often painted their tanks up in pastel greens, blue-greys, dark greys, and yellows. I reckon that'd look a lot more interesting ingame, and really help bring out the details.

A mate of mine owns a Mk.III (it runs, bloody fun to ride in/on), there's a lot of surface rust and grime but you can still make out some of the original colours (in particular, a massive blotch of bright turquoise across the glacis plate). Apparently this scheme worked remarkably well, I'd imagine partly due to mirages throwing up similar colours - though it's been said that if you spend enough time out there, the desert is a lot more than just brown.

Desert Matildas often had a name painted in yellow on the sides, directly beneath the turret. Not sure if the texture res will allow for it, but it's an interesting detail all the same.
