Kenny K100 Aerodyne

Hi everyone, built this 2 yrs ago. It's based on a real truck that won Truckin' Life magazines ''Rig of the year'' back in, I think, 1984/85. It was owned by a guy by the name of Simon Kerswell, running the Adelaide-Perth express run; unfortunately about 12 months after it won, it was stolen never to be seen again. Anyway, this model is my take on it. Enjoy.

This is one of my favourite models you've built Gary, I loved the real thing as a kid and have heard a heap of stories about the real truck. It certainly was an "express" truck as I dont think there was much on the road that'd catch it!

great looking Kenworth top job on it,sad to hear about the real truck seen it in truckin life magazine when it one,

Kerswell's Kenny was my favourite truck all while I was growing up.
You did well capturing the colours, good job.

BTW, did you ever live in Wagga or have you always been in Campbelltown? Maybe my memory is just leaving me.

Hi Kane, no never lived in Wagga, just go there every October for the model show. Have always lived & grew up in the Camden/Campbelltown area.

Gary,
Now this is a blast from the past, great job on this old classic,
Now that you have the "before", you could do a diorama of the "after", Simon Kerswell standing in a vacant paddock, with a bunch of keys in his hand..... just a thought...

This is a really cool looking build. I'm a fan of your work.

Just going threw some old posts as I'm new to AMCC,I'd just like to add (this is AWSOME)

awesome truck you have there mate i do remember this one from truckin life magazine my dad probly still has the magazine somewhere will have to ask him.

That is one of my favorites. It's a credit to you.

Cheers guys, have been very busy lately & have moved house a couple of months ago. Hope to post some new stuff shortly.
