I don't know, but if they hold to form, it will probably have the old ones with new ones, too. I know the log trailer had the old General Constuction" (I think that was the name without looking) decals and also new DOT stripe markings.

MICHAEL COLE Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 I hope one thing they do is make the frame and running gear white, it would make a better looking trailer with a painted frame, not a chrome one. but thats just my two cents.

Ben Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 This is pretty cool news! Too bad I already have four of the original Sunoco issues. I bet they won't have the problem this time that the originals had. After the tanker halves were plated, they were wrapped in butcher paper and placed into the boxes by hand. This led to many kits accidently getting two left halves or two right halves rather than a left and a right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
