Great looking pictures wvmrodder!

The truck & trailer are very colorful, should catch a lot of views if you decide to enter it in a contest.

Did you add air lines from the truck to trailer? Its a detail sometimes overlooked on big rigs. A fine insulated blue & red wire wrapped around a needle or such can replicate the coiled air lines well.

Another point is chrome plated rims are more accurate if painted bright silver. Aluminum can be polished to a mirror finish but this finish does not last long, at best its clear coated and still a tad duller than actual chrome plating. Don't change it now, just a consideration for future projects.

Thanks for the better photographs!

Yes there appears to be dust on your camera lens.

Do not use paper towel, best to get a lens cleaner from a camera shop or one used on rifle scopes. Either way clean the lens carefully.

The truck looks great! Cool

Post some more detailed pictures when your camera is dusted off. I for one prefer natural light, try placing the truck somewhere that appears to 'scale' in the background & take the pictures at eye level. That is the same height a 1/24 scale person would view the truck at, about 3" +/-. Add drama to the photograph by taking the picture lower, wait for a interesting sky, sunset or sunrise to add to the photographs impact. 

Thanks for posting your work.
