There were no missing parts or defects on the review model.
There is no information provided about the real truck or model.
Detail
The 4x2 Scania tractor unit is high quality, with very good transmission and suspension details on the chassis. The tyre tread patterns look good as do the detailed hubs.
The front of the Scania has sharp graphics, detailing and number plate. The light bar and lights above the windscreen are very good. Inside the cab, the detail level is reasonable.
Under the cab is a detailed engine. Behind the cab there are coiled lines and an excellent diamond plated walkway leading to the fifth wheel area. The fuel tanks have nicely detailed straps. At the back the rear light clusters are very good.
The trailer is heavy as it is mostly metal with the exception of the red box and load platform underneath. The axle assemblies are modelled well with nice wheels and the landing legs are detailed with a fine winding handle.
At the front the Thermo King refrigeration unit is modelled well with connection points for lines from the tractor provided underneath. The graphics on the sides are very sharp and clear.
At the rear the door bolts and hinges are nicely highlighted and the lights have plastic lenses, and there are tiny side lights.
Features
The Scania steering achieves a limited angle before the wheels are fouled. There is a small amount of vertical movement in the rear axle.
The cab tilts to reveal the engine and it can pose in a tilted position.
The trailer has working suspension with each axle individually sprung.
The landing legs at the front can be lowered to support the trailer when disconnected from a tractor, and no unsightly screw threads are visible.
Quality
This model is very high quality with limited plastic.
The paintwork and graphics are very good.
Price

Overall
This is a very sharp looking model which is well made and finished. It poses well and is highly recommended.
