Revell Jeep decal goof

[TonyK]

Has anyone heard if Revell has plans to replace the Jeep "Lifegaurd" decals? Been tempted to get this kit but the decals turn me off to build the beach patrol version.

Would it be possible to cut the decal apart and rearrange the letters?

[TonyK]

Thought of that and it might be possible. I'd probably screw it up though.

Yeah, they spelled “Lifegourd!” Who does that? 

It insulted a lot of gourds, pumpkins and other melons.

The funny part is people building it as it is! Instead to cut the decal and swap the letters.

Probably didn't want to get sued for licensing from the lifeguard lawyers. ?

I'm tempted to by the kit, paint it orange, and change the a to an o. "Lifegourd" Maybe put a pumpkin decal on the doors and hood.

If just one vegetable is saved, then it would all be worth it. ?

Bought the kit and was surprised/happy to see a new correct decal sheet. Lifeguard is spelled right. Don't know how you would know from the box but I ordered online so had no idea until I opened the box. Anyway, good for Revell for fixing this.

That's good to hear!   Glad they corrected it.

Now, did it have five tires?

Since Revell corrected the mistake that now makes the original, wrong, decal sheet rare and worth a lot of money, right??
