i like what you are doing Noel but i don;t like the setup. I would have the tank off the roadway by the side, maybe on a gentle slope downwards but not slap bang in the middle of the road. But it depends on the effect you want to have. This seems to be a country track or road so i would have the tank off it. When it was hit something would definitely happen and it is hard to believe that it would have stopped dead in its tracks but it would swerve off to one side, any side due to the driver's reaction either as an evasive maneuver, as a surprise jerk or because he was hit and was no longer in control of the tank. Otherwise i like everything else.

Joking apart.... and my Maltese spelling aside!..... I am placing the tank slightly at an angle. Tanks have been known to stop bang in their tracks..... my Panzer I maybe swerved a bit before the driver died! Don't forget the driver is seated very close to where the impact occurred.
Some more progress...

Since you like it, then it is great
There are some VERY THIN BORDERS in modelling, which IMHO are very close for comfort, in fact too close for comfort again IMHO which can make or break a model like weathering for example......just enough & in ALL the right places can "make" a model while a bit too much or a bit in the wrong places can "break" a model
The same can be said when depicting extremities in anatomy, movement or lack of, as in this case, and in all dire circumstances & brutal honesty I think you did quite ok, both in sculpting & painting even though there is a gap beneath his back which I think should have been "resting" before Rigor Mortis set in & also I am finding it a bit difficult to "absorb" the whole scene as it actually is
Re Camera comparison......very interesting to hear although I would wish an in depth comparison or insight on another thread somewhere here if you please

Just to clear your concern. The photo does not show it clearly BUT the figure is resting on the hatch!!!!
When open the hatch has two rubber studs that rest on the turret, thus creating a think line of space... that you are actually looking at!!
