Revell's 50th Anniversary Truck...

[asterisk]

...and they choose a rebranded Italeri kit? I love the ad copy here that accompanies the kit on the website touting their in-house development. The only in-house development they do any more is repackaging and new decals. Which I suppose Italeri is catching on to with that wrecker release.

Couldn't they have thrown a Beall tanker (doesn't even have to be chrome! save some production costs) and a 359 together?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are at least still with us and re-releasing things, this just struck me as strange.

Yeah, I opened mne and saw the Italeri kit.....all I thought was how much the decals cost me!!! LOL.If the issued the KW ,Pete and a different trailer it would have been nice.I guess they thought we would buy it just because it was the 50th anniv. kit? Paul

Thanks for the tip, guys! Glad it wasn't my highest priority kit of the moment. I'd rather spend my $$$ on that oh-so-near Autocar A64B reissue. Well, at least this one's not as big a ripoff as that infamous "Marmon" kit, eh?
