Yes! Impressive in more ways than one. And more than 60 years, the hobby enthusiast that I am, who grew up in the era of Meccano remained amazed by the realism of this reproduction of a Volvo construction machine L350F referenced. Besides the installation instructions shows facing the original and the "toy". Apart from a few points of detail such as the size of the protective guardrails, is to mistake there
The big plus of this model is the use of four engines for propulsion, steering and maneuvering the bucket. And it works very well. I much prefer the use of screw jacks instead of pneumatic cylinders with sometimes abrupt and jerky movements.
The aesthetic, with large tires, ladders, the rapid rotation of the engine 6 cylinders in line, accessible via swivel covers, is particularly successful. Done, this model impresses with its imposing size and finish (some models sometimes lack hoods or body, giving them a small aspect "castle drafts")
This is not a model for beginner. Some simultaneous assemblies 5-6 "rivets" and require more dexterity and some strength in the hands, but with patience familiar to all fans of Lego, the reward is at the end. Exceptional. We expect the next great brand
Just a small detail. The battery change has trouble and tedious removals-rests. Here, Lego has planned a simple procedure since 4 engines are greedy. But why this procedure it appears that the pdf manual provided by the website and not in this paper version in the box ???? I selected a few pages and created a micro printable instructions on my PC. A small mystery that does not affect my enthusiasm.
