Thanks 
So I'm done...it turned out to be a pretty nice model...I made minor adjustments to the entire model...(mask, wheels, pump), I glazed the larger ones, added hoses, a firefighter figure, and a base...

Kenworth K-100 RED SIOUX II
Scale : 1:100
Author : DARK TOWER
Source : internet-free model
A few words about the original:
The Kenworth K-100 is one of the most iconic heavy-duty, cab-over-engine (COE) semi-trucks in American history. Introduced by Kenworth in 1962, it was designed to maximize trailer length within strict state-enforced overall length limits of the era. Design truck is inspired by a classic Czechoslovak comic strip named Red Sioux
My edits:
The model is only available in a boxed version, so I'll modify it a bit... For now, I've glazed the cabin and made a simple interior that won't be visible anyway...

So I'm standing on wheels now... 10 wheels took quite a bit of work, they're not perfect, but considering that I did it by estimation, it's probably not that bad... I also started working on a mat... current status:
So I'm done, I improved what I could....brief summary:
-I glazed the cabin and made a simple interior
-I finished the chassis including 10 wheels, tanks, bumpers...
-I highlighted the drawn details...
-I finished the box behind the cabin, rearview mirrors, wing for the cabin roof...
-I used chrome paint to highlight some parts and a slight patina on the chassis
-I made a simple base
Some things turned out better, some less. but overall it doesn't look that bad...

It looks perfect! It's impressive what you are doing to the models. With the paint and all the other materials they are really coming to life.
I would never know what colors and stuff to apply to make it look realistic. But then again I am really bad with colors and shades

This model looks awesome I have to agree Elmax that your use of materials and colors is mind blowing.
Thank you, as I wrote, some things worked out better, some things didn't, but that's how it is with every model...
As for the chrome, I have spray paint that I spray on the lid and then paint with a brush...it's a bad job, because you can't touch such a surface or it will lose its shine, but I don't have anything else...
It's quite funny when I think back to my first minimodels, which were terrible and I didn't understand how anyone could glue them, and after a few years I ended up doing such a watchmaking job myself.
