Not bad for a first effort.

But seriously ditch the cuffs on the pant legs, that's just wrong on a uniform.

Eh, the template I used (Unknown creator), had those at the bottom and I wasn't sure what to do with them; I probably will remove them in subsequent edits, but that will have to wait until I figure out how to do hats.

Speaking of which, anyone got any advice on how to do parade caps in lineart?

i'd also wager it could be kept in recon or sth role until WW2

Recon wouldn't work when it's sooooooooo damnnnnnnn slowwwwwwwww in comparison to newer tanks. The Stuart could run rings around it and pack more firepower.
Probably why the Germans used them for stuff like guarding airfields where they're just a moving pillbox.

This is good, especially for a first attempt. I have a couple of nitpicks on the shine on the cap visor, but that's about it. Nice work.

Thanks :D

I'm uncertain as to how to go about getting shine on things, especially with the limited space available on the visor, but hey, baby steps (Speaking of limited space; I've no idea how to get insignia that small; its hard to render crossed spears and the national mark in a space of nine pixels, hence why the mark on the hat is just sorta a cross).

Anyone got any advice on how to start with Tanks and Armoured Cars?

Shamelessly rip off someone else's work. :p
But really, a lot of us do borrow parts from each other, though it is good form if you ask for permission first. And make sure to credit people who you borrow stuff from.
