Revell 1:25 Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne

[Force]

I just saw Revell plan to reissue the K-100 Aerodyne for the second or third quarter 2017.
I hope they will fix the K-100 flat top "issues" with the cab and plating for this release.

Cool!! Any link/artwork to this info?

I just wish the Aerodyne kit had the correct dash, They all seem to have the early K100 layout but not the correct Aerodyne dash layout

Can't wait!

There was a flyer for the 2nd and 3rd quarter posted on the Spotlight Hobbies board on Friday and it's also here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/122284-revell-q2q3-flyer/.
I don't know the difference between the dashes as I haven't researched the subject that deep, but after what I know the only difference between the Revell K-100 flat top and the Aerodyne is the roof section.

yea, the older kits of the aerodyne are WAYYY to expensive!

ive always wanted to build BJ's K100 ever since I saw the movie, but again, the kits were WAYYY to expensive for me to afford.

As I said, the K100 Aerodyne will be out  third quarter this year.

Great news indeed!

Surely the best KW K100 Aerodyne kit ever, beautiful model, remember getting the the kit back in 1983 (with real rubber Michelins/gray smoked tinted windows!): was totally amazed back then (Opening doors, steerable wheels, fully detailed interior, removable top section...TV set!), the built up on original 1982 box top looked amazing:

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to this one. Tim Ahlborn once mentioned on this forum that this kit has out of scale headlights. Anyone else agree? Are they a bit too big?

[Fat Brian]

Well, that $125 I paid for one on ebay a couple years ago feels a bit worse now.

[Edsel-Dan]

As I recall, The KW in the Pilot Movie for BJ & The Bear was a Flat Roof

It became an Aerodyne for the series

 

I have the AMT 1/32 scale kit set

Wish they would re-issue that one!!!!!

According to a post on FB, it looks like we may see a reissue in 2025?

The only difference between the Aerodyne and the flat top kits is the roof section, the rest is exactly the same.

Guess we will know for certain when Revell announces their 2025 product lineup at the Nürnberg trade show, since they didn't made it public on January 1st. like they did in the past decade or so...
