Looks nice.  I like the colors.  Just a little issue I see, the rear tires are not seated properly.  The should be on the outside of the wheels, not on the inside like you have them.  Like this:

Nice job on the paint. You picked the right truck kit to start with. Here a few tips.

The rear tires go over the lip

Get you some black sewing thread and cut them so the hood opens to 90 degree and not the floor.

I'm lookin forward to seeing this with the trailer, loaded down.

Greg, Welcome to the wonderful world of model building. I wish my second build would have looked like that. 40+ years ago, I was armed with un-thinned Pactra 1/4oz jars and those black, nylon bristled Testors brushes. Looked like it was painted with cake frosting when I was done. Nice job on that KW. Keep up the good work.

This is a good second attempt.  Fit and finish look great, as well as the paint.  I am working on my second build right now, as I am still pretty new to the modeling world.  I choose to be sadistic to myself and dive right into advanced weathering techniques to closely (as best I can) match the real trucks that I use on the farm.
