Like Perturbo said before depends what type of damaged.

Trying bullet holes in the sides with a pin vice. Also try and make scorch marks/blown apart pieces are the fuel tanks (if you it to of blown up).

As for when building it try and not have the tracks on the bottom but a little bit on the top as if it was slipping off or some on the bottom and them then lying down so it looks like the tank has been destroyed. If you do not know what I mean watch saving private ryan when there in the final town defending aganst the germans and they start using the stick bombs. Shows that the tank was moving when the tracks got blown up and they slipped of as the tank kept trying to move.

Also if you want it the tank was immobilished and then the crew inside were killed. Try having the hatches a bit bent (keep bending plastic will eventually turn white) make it looked warp and for the inside make it look as if grenades went off. As if the tank was immobilished an then was assaulted and grenades were thrown down the hatches.

If you are making it to be blown apart by lascannon and such type weapon make a jagged whole and to make it looked like it was melted try maybs some pva glue around the edges. Will look better if on the top its dripping down. Shows it being melted.

If you are making it blown apart by missle launchers and such. Make it so there a few blow marks like a circular black hole with black streaks coming out. For glancing hits. Then a few with instead of the painted black whole an actual whole.

Remember one thing show the dammage inside nothing looks dogier if a lascannon blew apart the side of the tank and it does not damage to the opposite wall. Or if missles were launched in things were knocked around. Or if grenades were thronw in make inside look like hell the electronics bloew apart maybe put little wires you can get cutting of the plastic and making the metal frayed.

Hope all that helped.
