The truck looks great Paul but like others have said, it needs weathering, particularly the rear orange part. Orange and red plastic just always looks like plastic.

Get some water based acrylic paint in the color you want from a craft store. You can thin it for airbrushing with either distilled water or denatured alcohol. The paint will be flat, but you can shoot gloss coat on top if you want glossy paint. Here in So Cal tow trucks are the cleanest vehicles on the road with the possible exception of firetrucks. They also have the wildest paint jobs imagineable.
