Revell 1/16 Peterbilt 359

Yes, it was part of Revell's SSP (Selected Subjects Program) which used to mean the kit was limited to a certain number (say 5,000), but not sure if that still applies to the SSP branded kits or not. It was around $70 or so when it was reissued in 2013, though, so $170 is quite a jump in less than two years.

More than twice the price asked here, for the exact same kit :wacko:!!!! (minus the ugly Revell AG decals).

Oddly, when i read the side boxing of my 359's Revell US :"SSP" (latest yellow edition) was made in... Poland! since Revell Germany has a "cheap labor" plant there...Meaning Monogram Pete 359 1/16 mold (like other 1/16 truck molds & others!) still in hands of Revell Germany.

It's interesting to note that in the photos that I've seen of this reissue, the air cleaner is on the drivers side while the luberfiner is on the passengers side. Is it the same with the yellow SSP reissue from 2013? This is opposite from the Revell USA 1/25 Peterbilt 359.
