This truck is a
Scania R Highline
8x4 with a Palfinger Hooklift System and a Hooklift
Asphalt Container.
It is a limited edition model in the colours of the
Swedish company Wermelin.
Packaging
The box is
WSI branded, and the packaging is the standard WSI type for a truck model.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review
model.
There is no information
about the real truck, Hooklift System, or model.
Detail
The
Scania chassis is an 8x4 arrangement with a fixed rear
axle, and it is detailed with all suspension and transmission parts.
The wheels are very detailed with different tyres on the
steering and driven axles.
The cab has a
very nice light bar on the roof and an impressive grille
with tiny graphics. The decoration of the cab is
excellent, and there is a realistic number plate.
Behind the cab the casting detail includes the Scania
name and there is ladder There are textured surfaces
between the wheel arches.
The Hooklift is modelled well, and the twin rams have
plastic jackets.
The asphalt container is half-pipe shaped, with
a very reflective chrome exterior, and there
graphics applied. It has a plastic cover which is
textured to represent tarpaulin, and a very smooth
interior.
Features
The
steering of the front axle has a limited range of movement. The
truck rolls smoothly. The rear axle is not
liftable like on the real truck.
The cab tilts well.
The movement of the Hooklift system is very good, and it
includes a telescopic section, and any intermediate pose
can be held. The rear rollers on the chassis turn.
The tipping function for the container is also very
good.
The container cover is removable, and the rear tailgate
opens although it was not free-swinging on the review
model. The rear rollers on the container are
functional.
Quality
It is well made with a high metal content
and appropriate use of plastic.
The decoration of the model is excellent.
Price
The model is fully priced for a rigid truck.
Overall
This is a
another attractive looking hooklift truck. It
would also pose well with other paving-related
models.
