If they added just 6 extra parts in their version they would have 3 different versions of this truck in one kit.
You could build it as the FLC version, Conventional version and conventinal aerodyne.
For that to happen they just have to add the 2 longer sleeperwalls and roof from a conventional kit, for the aerodyne they can just add that roof as it is one piece with spoiler molded in it.
Then the 2 clear windows for the aerodyne roof.
They could even skip on the windows as most of us should have enough left over clearparts to modify something or make your own.

 I wonder why they did not do that as it seems as they like to do 2 in one kits and they would probably be first with a 3 in one truckkit.

I'm thankful to see this kit however we get it, but those parts would be great be great.  That tall sleeper roof cap really did exist.  It was an aftermarket fiberglass part made and installed by Sloan's in Portland near the Freightliner plant. It was not a Kenworth Aerodyne part.

Yes they could of course do that, but in that case they would be missing out on doing the other two versions later then.

I was hoping for the double sleeper But I guess not ......... then I thought the italeri Freightliner fld 120 has the sleeper I'm looking for AWESOME !

I allready have this one from Italeri so I think I'll pass.
I got a double bunk sleeper from the FLD 120 on ebay a while ago as I have plans to do the Pork Chop Express sometime in the future...I just need the decals for it.
