Wondering if there will be a matching BJ & the bear Kenworth K100 Aerodyne. The trailer exactly matches it, which could hardly be a coincidence imho.
There already was one https://diecastsociety.com/road-kings-new-kenworth-k100-aerodyne/, with BJ&the bear stickers on a very limited edition of the red one. But there are aftermarket stickers you can put on the regular red one – if you can still find one. You have missed the original release at the end of last year, I am afraid.
Thanks. I thought I saw the full BJ & the bear version being offered recently (at high cost), so it seems surprising that the truck was offered before, and the matching trailer only now.
Well, for years and years only truck head tractors were being offered, but no trailers. This gap is/was filled by MN Trailers from Romania, with Mike Neagu making bespoke full size metal trailers, including a Smokey & the Bandit before any Kenworth was on the horizon. Modelissimo first tried to enlist him, wanted him to make cheap trailers. But he has got his pride as an artist and his trailers are expensive. So Road Kings, spotting the obvious gap in the market, started making these: at the shortest possible length and the lowest possible price. In fact, they really are late with it, because it only occured to them now. Maybe I should write an article on trailers in 1 /18?
That explains it. Thank you again! I’d definitely be interested in case you’d like to write an article.
