This model is of an 8x4 Scania S Highline I CS20H. 

It is a limited edition in the colours of Donohue Heavy Haulage, an Irish company.

Packaging

The packaging is the usual WSI-branded windowed box with the model held in a plastic former inside an expanded polystyrene tray, with a clear plastic lid. 

There were no missing parts or defects on the review model.

There is no information about the model or the real truck.

Detail

The chassis has a very detailed transmission and suspension.  The wheels are detailed with highlighted blue hubs and there are different tyres on the steering and non-steering axles.

The Scania Highline cab looks really good in the Donohue colour scheme.  Tiny graphics highlight the grille.  There is a realistic number plate.

Under the cab is a detailed engine. 

The equipment tower has tanks and cabinets with the Scania logo on the farings. The cabinets have a painted finish rather than the chromed finish on the real truck.  Coiled lines run from the tower. 

The wheel arches are very smart.  At the back the lights have plastic lenses.

Features

The Scania has linked steering on axles 1 and 2 with a limited range of movement possible.

The cab tilts forward and it poses in a tilted position. 

Quality

This model is high quality with a high metal content and plastic used appropriately. 

The paintwork is excellent as are the graphics.

Price

The model is moderate value.

Overall

This is an attractive version of the Scania latest generation truck.  It would look great with an appropriate trailer and load.
