They look very nice ! But where is the spring on the pump ?

[Jockos]

I also went to bauma, but it wasn't there. When did you go there?

It's now internally integrated!

[efferman]

Jockos, on the volvo outdoor area is a visitor building. And on the ground Level they are inside the building.

[Jockos]

Oh my, that's what I missed

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Is this Bauma fair a toy fair or a fair for what?

It is the worlds largest exhibition for construction machinery.

Looks like we get some of the new angled panels in black

[model850]

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. :/

[Jonfensu]

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?

Looks great, thanks effe, but it looks so sticker heavy

[Freekysch]

Many thanks for the pics ! The B model looks good too !

[Thirdwigg]

Thanks for the photos. This set is looking very good.

[PFTechnicBuilder]

So when does this come out?

[Kman860]

August 1st most likely.

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!

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!

[Cwetqo]

You will not be the only one doing this. :)

This is real thing, this version of this excavator with grabber have same orange handrails.

[allanp]

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.

[scooper22]

Yup. As others already said, orange handrails ARE the real thing and accurate.

Now if only this model has the complexity of a flagship, with 5 LAs and a bucket attached to a small turntable :-<

[Jonfensu]

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.
