Here is my 1st finnished salamander Rhino, what do you think? what could i do to make it better? and does it need battle damage?

It looks great. I prefer my tanks to look a little battle worn so I would vote for some damage, but that's just my personal preference. Great job on the freehand either way.

Excellent work on the tank. The colors of the flames are well blended.

Nice freehand and a great paintjob all round. It’s your personal preference when it comes to adding details like battle damage, but I like my tanks with a little bit of battle damage.

Nice paintjob and nice freehand.
Just a note, Fire is hottest in the "bottom"/source. There the fire is as brightest, blue/white, then going over to yellow, orange and then red

Great work, I think it's fine without weathering

Personally I prefer my tanks heavily weathered, but I really like this as it is. Too much damage may detract from the excellent freehand work, so I would leave it as 'factory fresh'

Yep, great work, flames are absolutely brilliant. I like it when effort goes into stuff that usually gets blown up on turn one, thats dedication!

I think it looks great and uber flame effects!

From a fluff perspective I'd add unit numbers to the tank and gunner and the gunner could possibly do with a Salamanders icon on his right pauldron too.

Battle damage? Nah, leave it, it's fine as is.

It looks great, I would not put battle damage on it. I would suggest a little mud around the tracks, though.

Good job! Like everyone else, leave battle damage. It really doesnt matter how you have painted flames because you have painted em well!
