i just got into model building and this is my second one model . and first time airbrushing. now i have started the revell auto transport trailer and my goal is to at least build enough cars to fill the trailer.

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.

     Nice looking KW for a second attempt ! There are a lot of things you can do to dress up those snap kits and make them look even better.

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.

Greg, great build, and welcome to one of the most rewarding hobbies there is! Build at your pace, develop your skills, (that already look great), and learn from some of the best people you will EVER have the pleasure of knowing. ENJOY!
