So I had to add more. There's a great overhead shot in the Syrian Armor At War book of a T-72 with a nice rubble coating from either a blast or a jaunt through a building, so I added some masonry debris using railroad ballast which was secured with Scenic Cement.

Almost done! I have added the stowage to the turret. The Boom Box was secured with some scratch built ratchet straps made out of painted Frog Tape and scrap PE. Just a few touch-ups needed and I am finishing the Syrian pennant on the antennae.
