What's still missing is the logo, either the 1990s' one or the new ca. 2003 design without the tied parcel. I know someone makes it, but just cannot think of who it it. The PM Modellbau resin kit comes with a little sheet that has: three big logos (tied parcel), three small logos, "United Parcel Service" and a German phone number. It is questionable though, if they let go of the decals without the kit. |

One thing that I have found out about the UPS van is you will not find a body/coach manufactures label anywhere on them. I guess not allowed per their contract with the body builder. ;D

If I am correctly informed UPS removes all manufacturers logos, not only from the bodymaker but also from the truckmanufacturer (Hence the grille without MACK logo that is available from Plano) because they do not want to endorse the brands.
UPS uses identical delivery vans in Europe by the way, these are built on Iveco and Mercedes chassis. The Mercedes ones are easily recognized, they have the Mercedes star in the center of the frontwheel hubs. Too hard to remove a cast logo I guess. ;D

Dear Sirs:
Mack does not have the MACK logo at the front grille,but the manufacturer conviced UPS to let their bulldog hood ornament to stay with the truck.

UPS uses identical delivery vans in Europe by the way, these are built on Iveco and Mercedes chassis. Plus there are those smaller units which are made using a Fiat Ducato chassis, if I am not mistaken. It looks almost like a 1:1.1th scale model of the Iveco/Mercedes versions  Marc |

I though those smaller vans had a different front as well, I could be wrong though, it's been a while since I saw one of the small vans here. Most of the time UPS uses either the bigger van or a Sprinter for their deliveries.
