Revell Peterbilt 359 snap kit question

[JerseeJerry55]

Good day all and hope all are well. I have a question about the Revell Peterbilt 359 snap kit. I was poking around on the Rocketfin Hobbies website and came across the following picture. Is that a new set of decals they are doing now? Have never seen this scheme by Revell before. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe so, atleast the decals looks good. I hope they let the tires cure properly in the molds for the next release. Mine (issued maybe 2006?) had tires that was unusable.

Agreed on the tires and it would help if they did a front visor as well.

And got rid of those much too shallow rear wheels.

I'm sure it'll be the same old kit we've all known & loved for the last 40 years or so; but with different decals.

How do we contact Revell to check? I love the kit but am not fond of the swirling tapered stripes that came in my last two kits.

Try their Website?  Or maybe their Facebook page?

 You have to add 17 to your 20, the 1:25 Peterbilt 359 and Kenworth W900 Aerodyne snap kits were listed as new in the 1982 Monogram catalog and later issued under the Revell name...so it's 37 years since they were first issued.
Time flies.

My Golly! That old?  I had no idea.
