 Comment on this model.
This model is from the Corgi
Hauliers of Renown
series. It is a limited edition and is in the
colours of C J Haynes & Son, a UK haulage company.
Packaging
The model comes in the usual high quality presentation-style box
with a photo of the model. Inside, the model is
contained within an expanded polystyrene tray with a
clear plastic lid.
There were no missing parts on the review model but there
was a glue tail on the Scania.
Included with the model is a Collector Card which gives
some background to the livery.
The only
assembly required is to attach the mirrors and aerials
to the cab. Airlines can be fitted from the
tractor to the trailer.
Detail
The Scania R620 tractor is a 6x2 and underneath the
transmission is modelled in metal and there is a simple
front end, and large rivets are visible on other parts.
The thin tyres are the same on each of the good-looking
wheels. Thin mud flaps are present front and rear, with those at the front being a
touch too long on the review model.
The cab
paintwork and graphics are excellent and detailed. The
rest of the
detailing is good with two aerials, a lightbar and horns on the roof, door mirrors and
wipers, but the interior
detail is simple. Behind the cab there are more
high quality graphics with a pair of plastic chromed
exhaust stacks and coiled air lines. The wheel arches
are metal with finely detailed paintwork. There are
realistic number
plates front and rear, and the rear light clusters are coloured strips.
The curtainside trailer chassis detail is simple with
the usual dimpled finish and the wheels have decent fat
tyres.
The twin landing legs have plastic cam feet.
The curtainsides are plastic but with realistic moulding
detail and very good graphics with the tie-downs looking
particularly good.
At the rear the doors have the hinges and bolts detailed
within the casting, and the detailed graphics are
applied well.
Features
The tractor rolls well enough and it has notched
steering which achieves a
reasonable angle, so more interesting poses are possible.
The trailer can stand on its support legs with the cam
feet rotated down and it is reasonably level.
Quality
It is a well made model with a high metal content.
The paintwork and graphics are very good.
Price
The model is good value.
Overall
Corgi has produced a really good looking model with very
nice paint and graphics. It certainly makes a good
display piece and is good enough to be highly
recommended.
Footnotes
The model first appeared in the Corgi January-June
