Comment on this model.

The Vögele Super 2100-2 Tracked Paver has a maximum paving width of 13m and can lay up to 1100 tonnes of material per hour.

This version of the model is in the colours of Leitenmaier which is a roadworks company founded in 1949 and located in Southern Germany.

Packaging

The model comes in a Vögele-branded box and inside it is enclosed between polystyrene trays with the paver unusually secured to the base tray with a tie.  The review model had no defects or missing parts.

The model is complete with no assembly required, and there is no information describing its features.  Included is an interesting reprint of a brochure about the real machine.

Detail

The rubber tracks have a segmented pattern and are mounted on simple track frames.  It is interesting to note that the model is numbered both 670 and 671 on the underside.

At the front the hopper belt is a metal casting and the hopper sides are also metal.  There are some non-functioning rollers for engaging the wheels of a discharging tipper.

The body is a smart looking part with deep grilles and smart graphics.  The operator's station has a textured floor, a finely detailed console and the two seats are good.  The canopy above is metal whereas the real machine has a glass fibre type material.  The hand rails are metal and realistically sized.

The screed has textured surfaces and high quality handrails.  It is very long with plastic suspension bars, and there is a metal material screw of matching length. 

Each end of the screed has a control console and these are very finely detailed indeed.

Features

The tracks roll reasonably well for rubber as long as the model moves in a straight line.

The hopper sides can close in to force material onto the belt.

Both operator's seats can be rotated out to provide a better view forwards, and the roof canopy above can be extended to provide shelter.  The console can move on a rail from side to side.

The canopy roof can be lowered to provide a reduced headroom for travelling on a transport vehicle.  However the long screed is fixed so it does not make a viable transport load.

The screed can be raised and lowered, and can be extended a little on both ends for width.

Quality

This is a high quality model by NZG which is almost all metal and surprisingly heavy.  It has very good paint and graphics.

Price

The price reflects the limited edition produced.

Overall

This paver model looks nice in the colours of Leitenmaier and it is high quality too.  It is highly recommended.
