Detroit Diesel green? Nope - RAF Sky
A GMC tractor of some sort. I don't remember who made the kit, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't AMT. It's pretty much stock, except for the pin-up decals, which came from the second Italeri "Truck Accessory" set. I don't build many trucks, and even when I do, I tend to build more specialized things like logging trucks or dump trucks. This is my only real long-haul tractor, and it's likely to remain my only long-haul tractor for some time to come.Barely visible on the left-side door is a small decal that was originally intended as nose art for a Beaufighter on an Italeri decal sheet.

That's some nice work. I'd like to build the truck from Duel (Peterbuilt 281 or 351) one day. If only one could find a 71 Valiant to go with it.
I have a Peterbilt 359 that could be made to look like a 351, but I don't know of a source for the old-style tank trailer, and I'm still waiting the courage to scratchbuild one (looks like it would be mostly sheet plastic work, but still). But that would be a great model! I suppose if no 71 Valiant could be found, a phone booth might suffice :)
One could convert a Dodge Dart I suppose.
