Mack Superliner

Has this Mack Superliner ever been available?

The only Superliner that is available in plastic it the Italeri Superliner.  It has a generic chassis & engine, there are no logos, and the dimensions are Superliner-esque. I've never built it, but I have heard that it takes some work to make an actual Superliner out of it.  AMT did reissue it back in 2020 as the American Superliner.

The worst part of the Italeri Superliner is the cab. It should be flat with the sides of the hood but flares out a bit on each side making it too wide. Fixing this would be a huge pain, you'd have to narrow the cab about half an inch. The generic chassis doesn't help but you can find resin copies of a Mack E9 v8 engine to increase the Mackness a bit.

Was asking because I have the Cad model shown above of the Superline I could 3d resin print.

That would be pretty cool. although wouldn't it be prohibitively expensive?
