That camo is looking good.
The only advice I would give when airbrushing a camo scheme is to be mindful that this vehicle will almost certainly have received any camo in the field.
Just imagine the reach you could attain with a spray gun yourself over the bodywork. You would constantly have to climb all over it and mate up your existing pattern, often covering tools and other paraphanalia in the process. Add an extra colour and you could see how criss-crossing patterns would likely occur. I know often that is what was demanded but often you see the two colours cross when they were intended only to demarcate the DG basecoat.
Although a decent painter working with a decent gun could regulate the spray pattern the paint thickness could be inconsistant so a rough patch here and there would be likely too.
I think to get a tri-tonal pattern in scale to look good first time is difficult without using ref pics and yours looks good. They often don't look pleasing to the eye because they were never intended to be.
Corners covered to disguise the outline were far more important than to aesthetically please anybody.
I would definately tone the overall appearance with a light misting of the base colour or even a slightly lighter shade. Take the edge of the stark colour contrasts so to speak.
