This figure set wears the colours of
Eurovia which is a subsidiary of the
VINCI Group.
Packaging
The figures come in a branded box and are packed well
within a plastic tray with a clear former over the top.
The review set was undamaged.
Detail
The figures are hand painted and have poses related to
laying asphalt. One of the figures is in a seated
position and can be used on models with an open
operator's seat.
The painting is very good and on their hi-visibility
vests Eurovia is printed in extremely small but
legible text.
Features
The five standing figures will hold stand correctly on a
flat surface. They fall over easily however, so a
tiny amount of plastic putty applied to one foot can be
used to secure them, or they can be glued to a small
clear card.
Quality
Conrad has produced well made figures without any easily broken
detail. Paintwork and graphics are very good.
Price
The
set is a little pricey, but this probably reflects the
amount of handwork involved.
Overall
A set like this adds interest to a model display and
gives a sense of scale. It is easy to recommend.
Footnotes
The
set appeared in 2011 and was made in a run of 300.
