Comment on this model.
The Volkswagen Crafter is a larger utility van and this
model of it is in the panel variant. Fully loaded it
weighs up to 5 tonnes.
This version of the model is in the colours of
Kibag,
a Swiss construction company.
Packaging
The
box is in typical WSI-style branding and inside the model is held
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 provided about the real
van
or model.
Detail
The floor pan is detailed with the exhaust and spare
wheel holder highlighted. Treaded tyres are
mounted on small detailed wheels.
At the front the lights have lenses and the VW logo is
excellent. There are no number plates however.
There are wipers and good door mirrors (with indicators) around
the cab and the inside detail is very good.
The body is metal with panels and doors detailed within
the casting. The Kibag livery looks good and the
graphics are sharp with the careful use of paint
highlighting other details. The rear window panels
are painted so a view inside the van is not possible.
Features
The steering is notched with a reasonable range of movement.
Both the front and rear axles have sprung suspension
which works well.
Quality
This is a solidly made model with a high metal content.
The paint finish is very good with high quality
graphics.
Price
The model is
fully priced noting it is a limited edition.
Overall
WSI has produced a good quality van model and it is
ideal to pose with other models in the same livery.
