This truck is a Scania R
Topline 6x2 + Combi Trailer.
The model is in the colours
of the Belgian company
Geuens Machinehandel. It is
decorated as a show truck and is used for transporting
machines to tractor-pulling events.
Packaging
The box is a standard WSI style
and inside the model is contained within a tray with a clear lid.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
model.
There is no information
about the real truck and the only parts to be fitted are
optional container locks.
Detail
The
6x2 Scania has a very good chassis with the parts
modelled in metal, including thin wall side skirts.
The wheels are very detailed with different tyres on the
steering and driven axles.
The cab modelling is exceptionally good and the Geuens
paintwork is beautiful.
There are two Michelin men on the roof and the mirrors are
decorated too. There is a very nice tractor-pulling
graphic on the back.
The inside of the cab is nicely detailed with a two-tone
finsh.
The deck has a high quality plastic replica timber
and graphics-applied diamond plated surfacing,
and the skirts have many tiny lights attached.
At the back the lights have plastic lenses and a number
plate. There is also a plastic clip-type towing hitch.
The
Combi trailer is very good and it also has a high metal
content. The finish matches the quality of the
truck.
Features
The steering
on the Scania has a good range of movement so it poses
in a more interesting way.
The cab tilts fully to reveal the detailed engine.
The trailer has sprung suspension on both axles, and the
front axle can also be raised and clipped out of
service.
The tow bar length is adjustable and can be pinned.
Container locks can be fitted to the truck and trailer
and they provide a stable position for WSI-made 20 foot
containers.
Quality
WSI has produced
a very high quality model with a high
metal content.
The paintwork and graphics are excellent.
Price
The model is reasonable value for a desirable limited
edition.
Overall
This truck and trailer combination is decorated to show
truck standards and as such it is a beautiful
presentation piece.
