Geloso G256. Vintage 50s audio recorder. Need your critique!

Hello!
Finished my second artwork in which I tried to achieve maximum realism. Despite all the efforts, the model looks somewhat unrealistic. I really need your feedback to develop further, and I will be grateful for your constructive criticism. Thanks for attention.

This looks pretty cool!
I feel like  the front plastic cover doesn't have any reflections on it.  Some scratches on that area along with the reflections should help.
Also all the plastics look  and feel kinda same and the roughness variations on them are not really visible.
U can take this guys prop as an example

Also it will be nice if u can post the reference u used as well!

It looks great, only thing I would say is that it's a little too clean - could use some dirt and some wear & tear.

Thanks for your feedback, it means a lot to me. I will remember this and in the next work I will make sure that there is more variety in the roughness and that it is more noticeable. Regarding the reference, I made small changes in my work, for example, the metal on the front panel is very different, but despite this, here is the reference itself

Great point. I don’t understand how I myself didn’t see it until you said it. It's too clean for a 60-year-old tape recorder. Thank you for your feedback, and good luck with your artworks!
