Here's a few tips for you, numbered for convenience:
1. The little mud scrapers in the running gear are pretty fragile, you should probably attach them last
2. Don't bother cleaning the leaf spring suspension, it's almost impossible. Just cover them with mud on top.
3. Clean these after gluing them, otherwise they WILL break .
4. This is the only problem with the build, and a pretty big one at that. The frontal plate is too narrow, so you have to sculpt the cheeks so that they met with the side plate like in the photo. I recommend using you're hobby knife's blade, preferably the chisel type, as a spatula and to cut the excess putty. Not that hard actually, but you need to be careful.
Moreover, as you can see, you have to use a fair bit of liquid putty to make the casemate joints presentable, but that's very easy to do.
