Always a pleasure watching your vid’s Chris 👍

[@jamesthompson8008]

Looking forward to the build video!

BJ and the Bear 🙂!

[@doublenickelbob]

Visors there. Do it as BJ and the Bear. Great video Chris, keep em coming, I'll keep watching.

[@Cimmerian415]

Congratulations, Chris on reaching 100k subs

[@davidhinkson8856]

Congrats on the 100K milestone! I first encountered this channel during lockdown four years ago and have seen it grow tremendously since then in terms of how you document the build process. It'd be nice to see this next to the Revell Snap Tite version you built a while ago when it's finished. I'm presently working on the Revell one and I realize it's a later and probably more "upmarket" model and different in several respects.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Nice look at the model. Thanks for sharing.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Whatta BEAST ! and well detailed too. Snub nose cab overs with sleepers were the "Caddy's" of their day ! Thanks for th tease Chris...

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Very nice looking. Thanks for preview and unboxing. Have a great week.

[@richardlee1092]

Thanks Chris for the unboxing!!!😎👍🏻

[@carlosballesteros4670]

I still have my truck on its shelve. My version is with Cummins straight six cylinder engine, after almost 40 years. A lovely truck.

[@blesko6117]

Great unboxing, Chris! Can't wait to see the build.

[@theunknownmodeler3793]

I have one of the older kits of this! Mine is 1987 version ! Willl be watching your build!

[@brunoskorniak9722]

Can't wait to see you build this up!

[@amywright9876]

That’s a great kit looking forward to seeing you build it

[@roymckay9589]

Nice to see. Thanks for the review. The part numbers on the sprues are a hangover from the Matchbox era ownership. Indeed, the instructions you show are 100% Matchbox in layout, design and symbols used. I remember a lot of this kit on the old Papa Truck I built back in the day. The frames look very long. I wonder are they just the Papa Truck frames? This would make the kit look overly long though? Definitely not like the box art...

[@maryfiltz800]

Nice looking kit - hope to see you build it.

[@hayburner_jr]

Another GREAT video Chris! Any suggestions on the best place to get BJ McKAY decals? Looking forward to this one!

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Very nice kit!! Haven't built a Semi in years. I might have to buy.

[@trucker0317]

Hey Chris. The hump in the center of the cabs interior is called the DOG HOUSE....

[@hpiguy]

Yes, sometimes people forget a word for a bit. It happens. Thanks.

[@trucker0317]

@@hpiguy. NP Chris. great review. I am sitting on an Aerodyne kit, waiting for your build to see how it comes out.

[@jonvanhouten8369]

I have the original release I put together, I have done a couple of these thru the years, I shorten the frame, move rear suspension forward and cut off the end, works good and I think the truck looks better. I also live in WI.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

dude you always have the best stuff. please build this on your chanel.

[@craigfresch575]

i had just turned 8 years old and rode in a KW cabover( no Aerodyne though) to NYC from Lockport ,NY for the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade in 1974.... even that long ago i still remember just how bumpy that ride was!!

[@Wolfe351]

I had the BJnBear version back when I was a Teenager, still have some parts from it and the 8v92 got swapped into a Revell K100 Aerodyne with twin aircleaner stacks.

[@terrybaptist795]

A white paint job with red stripe and some BJ Mckay and the Bear decals. that what i plan to build with my version. But as Chris always say build it the way you want to build it.

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Really great kit

[@dougclarey3241]

That kit uses most parts from the hideout model.8v92,allisonht750.bertwell custom interior.extra lites for ramp bed.I was driving the hideout then helped with the photo shoot back in the 80s

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 👍

[@longracing25]

Hello,.....Bj McKay models...yay!

[@richardcolemanjr3749]

The real one came out in 1976. You could spec them with the Red, White and Blue paint scheme. Cabovers are a novelty now days.

[@trucker0317]

@@adampatterson5475 : My grandpa had the Bicentennial COE and Conventional, Cool trucks especially with the red, white and blue interiors.

[@trucker0317]

The COE's were really cool trucks, and easier to maneuver around tight spaces unlike the conventional's.

[@donh.5557]

I have a Bj and the Bear kit I bought many years ago. Still in the box with the original decal sheet. I just can't bear to put it together.

[@waynehawkins9090]

Still have several kits of the generic release that AMT came out years ago.

Make it RC has a really cool conversion kit for semis.

I’ve been a diesel mechanic for 40+ years. There were hardly any of these trucks issued with Detroit diesels. Mostly Cummins and Cats. If they had a Detroit it was a 60 series not a screaming jimmy.

[@Wolfe351]

seen a few here in OZ with 3408's and 8v92s not as common as Cummins and 3406 powered ones......but you can tell when one goes past!

I'M waiting for a release of The Blue Mule from the movie White line Feaver!

That would require a company to do one from scratch. I doubt that will ever happen.

[@adriangillock700]

I want one but how much does it cost

[@MPMeterman]

Preorder link in description like he said.

[@richardlee1092]

I noticed this kit does not have metal axles. AMT kits pretty much always had metal axles. Does anyone know?

[@robbygaines3214]

This was 1 of the Lesney/Matchbox designed kits. They do not have metal axles.

That kit is actually just the tyrone malone ramp truck stripped. The frame is too long.
