April 17, 20168 yr They look very nice ! But where is the spring on the pump ? It's now internally integrated!
April 17, 20168 yr Jockos, on the volvo outdoor area is a visitor building. And on the ground Level they are inside the building.
April 17, 20168 yr Is this Bauma fair a toy fair or a fair for what? http://www.bauma.de/index-2.html
April 17, 20168 yr Nice pictures. :D Seems like that turning knob on the B model can't be placed on the other side of the axle because it would interfere with the bucket bellcranck. :/
April 17, 20168 yr Wow! Finally we get proper pics! Indeed my next set Thank you Effe Wondering how it will works with PF. May be the new pump is also compatible with PF? Edited April 17, 20168 yr by Jonfensu
April 18, 20168 yr I'm pretty pleased to see these making a comeback - current prices on Bricklink are prohibitive: Well, they'll probably also be in something else, but this will be both comparatively more affordable and a great way to supplement my pneumatic parts stash. And thanks to those new pictures it's jumped a few places up my wantlist!
April 19, 20168 yr The darker yellow (orange) parts don't make it look accurate to the real thing... When I get mine, I'll switch out those for proper yellow!
April 19, 20168 yr The darker yellow (orange) parts don't make it look accurate to the real thing... When I get mine, I'll switch out those for proper yellow! This is real thing, this version of this excavator with grabber have same orange handrails.
April 19, 20168 yr The difference is proportion. On the real thing the handrails are there in orange but they don't immediately jump out at you. In this scale regular technic parts are about 4 times too thick, increasing the amount of orange you see making them jump out visually. It may have been a requirement of Volvo to make sure they get the safety rails in orange on the model to show off their eye for safety. To me it looks like an old rusty excavator with all the orange, but I get the reason why. It wouldn't make financial sense to produce moulds for a specific properly proportioned handrail for a specific vehicle in a specific scale. This is probably the best that can be done out of pre existing parts whilst still being durable enough for this set.
April 19, 20168 yr Yup. As others already said, orange handrails ARE the real thing and accurate. See here: https://www.facebook.com/VolvoCEGlobal
April 19, 20168 yr The darker yellow (orange) parts don't make it look accurate to the real thing... When I get mine, I'll switch out those for proper yellow! You will not be the only one doing this. :) Yes definitely so unrealistic.... LOL.... Edited April 19, 20168 yr by P3_Super_Bee
April 19, 20168 yr Now if only this model has the complexity of a flagship, with 5 LAs and a bucket attached to a small turntable :-<
April 19, 20168 yr So you will switch the orange parts for yellow... Well I'll remove them . They make the model messy. As Allan state the problem there, is the proportion. Also I don't understand why the cab window is covered with those black bars. BTW, those are minor issues.
