 Comment on this model.
The
Vögele
Super 1900-2 Tracked Paver has a maximum paving width of
11m and can lay up to 900 tonnes of material per hour.
This version of the model is in the colours of Emulithe,
which is part of
Eurovia
France and hence is owned by the VINCI Group.
Packaging
The model comes in a Emulithe branded box which states
on the ends that the model is a wheeled paver when in fact it is a
tracked paver. Inside the model is enclosed
between polystyrene trays.
The
review model had no defects or missing parts.
The model is complete with no assembly required,
and there is no information describing its many features.
It does include a reprint of a brochure about the real
machine which is very good.
Detail
The rubber tracks are fine and there is a
non-functioning spreader auger on the underside.
At the front the hopper belt is represented within the
metal casting and the hopper sides are also metal with
very sharp graphics.
There are some non-functioning rollers for engaging the
wheels of a discharging tipper.
The body is a good looking part with deep grilles and
smart graphics. The operator's area has a
textured floor, a finely detailed console and the two
seats are good. The canopy above is metal which is
interesting as the real machine has a glass fibre type
material. The hand rails are metal and
realistically sized.
The screed has more textured surfaces and high
quality handrails. The cylinders to extend the screed are two stage but have been modelled as a
single piece which is an acceptable modelling
compromise.
Each end of the screed has a computer console and
these are very finely detailed indeed.
Features
The tracks can roll but the bands are slightly oversize so
are prone to jumping off the sprockets.
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.
The screed can be raised and lowered, and can be
extended on both sides for width.
Quality
This is a very high quality model by NZG which is almost
all metal.
It has very good paint and graphics.
Price
It is good value for the quality and functionality
offered.
Overall
This is a really good paver model by NZG and it goes
well with other models in the VINCI collection. It is highly
recommended.
Footnotes
The model first appeared in Vögele colours in 2007 and has been produced
in a number of company liveries. This
version was an exclusive for the
VINCI Shop and appeared in December 2013 with only 300 models made.
