Judge 1: Good to see you used black numbers, rather than red on the turret side. Good rendition of the "Tiger" striped camo style only used on the 3rd company Tigers of that unit. Some pin washes, light & metallic drybrushes on the edges would have helped a lot to bring some details out, especially around the engine deck/grills & wheel edges.
Judge 2: Building seems good, without misalignment or problem. Painting is good but model lack of shading and details. Probably a good work or pinwash on the zimmerit parts and on the engine deck, would improve the finish look. I do not see dust in the lower parts, the look seems too new.
Judge 3: A good build, especially the application of the photoetched parts. The basic paint finish is good, the camouflage pattern and colours both looking spot on. It would be a good basis for more shading as overall it looks a bit flat. Some shadows around the smaller details would greatly benefit the finish.
