With this high quality model from AMT you could build your very own Kenworth Aerodyne just like the one in the classic turn of the 70s/80s show “B.J. and the Bear”. With your very own truck you can watch the show without every turning on your TV, but keep it under 70 because smokey lit a fire over that hill and he is just itching to write you a ticket.

Oh, how I would have loved to have this back then. I even signed a test “B.J.” in 4th grade. Thankfully the teacher didn’t make fun of me too hard.
At least it is satisfactory to know that at least there are a few more ‘B./J.’ fans out there.
Keep up the interest in the show, good buddy.
