The tractor is a Scania R6 Topline 6x2 and the
trailer is a Nooteboom Euro-PX 3-axle Low loader.
It is in the colours of
Lazzaroni, an
Italian company.
Packaging
The packaging is the usual WSI-branded
windowed box.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
model.
Included with the model are a few parts to add in
various configurations. There is a nice leaflet
describing the trailer model, and with information about
the real trailer.
Detail
The Scania tractor has a detailed chassis with the usual
high standard of detailing for a WSI model.
The cab has
a nice light bar on the roof, and there is a realistic
number plate and fleet number. The Lazzaroni colour
scheme and graphics is very attractive.
Under the cab is a detailed engine.
Coiled
lines and anti-slip surfacing adds detail behind the cab, and at the
back the lights have plastic lenses.
The trailer is made up of the gooseneck, the flatbed and
3-axle module.
The gooseneck is a metal part. The control console on
the left side has tiny graphics showing controls and
gauges. At the rear a set of
hoses / cables are ready to plug into the
deck section. Marker boards can be clipped
underneath.
The 3-axle module features
a deep central trough which is an advantage of this
trailer design so that the boom of a transported load can
be folded low. There is nice highlighting of the
bolt heads on the access plates above the wheel sets. A marker
board assembly can be added on top, and a plate can be
added to the rear of the trough.
There is a detailed surface on the flat bed with plastic
timber decking which has the screw pattern visible.
Tiny plastic fold-out supports for timber edge
extensions are modelled, and the planks are included
also. Holes for deck posts are
provided, and the metal posts are
included with the model also.
Features
The Scania has linked steering
with a limited range of movement.
The cab tilts forward to about 45° and can pose in the
tilted position.
The gooseneck has stiff working cylinders so different
angles can be set. A spacer piece is provided for use
when connecting to the deck section.
The module has very good independent suspension and
the steering has a good range of movement.
The deck can be configured with deck posts and extra
plastic timbers to extend the width.
The deck is also extendible.
Quality
This model is high quality with plastic used
appropriately.
The paintwork and graphics are to a high standard.
Price
It is reasonable value.
Overall
The Lazzaroni colour scheme is certainly striking so
this is a very attractive limited edition model. It has
the usual high standard of detailing and functionality.
