Thanks!

While I applaud Revell of Germany from reissuing kits, this one has always been a mystery to the Model Truck Community. This truck is NOT a Marmon. It is a Peterbilt 359 with a Marmon grill & logos. In fact, the Peterbilt grill is in the kit box, so it does build up into a very nice Peterbilt 359.

If you want an accurate Marmon, check out AITM's Marmon 57P conversion kit. It is available with it without the sleeper:

Ya beat me to it Jim ,
Unfortunately I differ in that I cannot applaud a company doing re-releases especially when touting as something it's not and the fact that it will carry an inflated price because of the graphics and chrome .

For those that wish to see what a 'real' Marmon looks like:

Yes, Roger, I applaud Revell for reissuing kits, but not this one. You are correct, this Petermon (or Marbilt ) will be over priced for what you get, but it will still be less expensive that eBay prices. I will not be purchasing this kit.

Revell would have been "closer" of they had used the Kenworth W900 kit. Still not correct, but it would have looked more like a Marmon.
