I have not done trucks before and had this little airfix kit so did ot as a RAF North Africa fuel truck
Pastels for dust and oils for the fuel streaks on the tank.

For your first truck, that's pretty awesome. =D>

Impressive.....just don't make a habit out of it. You have built a tank, now a truck. That's enough.

Just kidding, seriously though good job. I like the weathering. Weird scale especially for a bowser.

Nice build.
I am busy building this vehicle at present. Once finished I will be doing the Bedford QL fuel tanker that came in the kit. Windows on both kits will be done using Kystal Klear.

This AEC Matador I will be doing in RAF green as it is to go with my 1/72 Javelin T.3 as per attached picture. I know the tanker in the photo is a different type of vehicle, but the Matador is the closest vehicle to it that I can find in model kit form.
The hangar background will have to be scratch built:
