Quality

This model is a quality product just like the previous version.  The paintwork and decals are high quality and the manufacture and presentation of the model is in the same category.  There is pretty much a complete absence of plastic.  The added components on this version are all to the same quality standard of the base model.

Price

This model is very good value for the quality offered.    

Summary

This version of the model builds on the capability of the crane version and the attachments give an interesting variety of display options. 

It is good to see that the opportunity has been taken to achieve some minor improvements over the previous version, and the instructions in particular are much improved. Overall this is a first class model.
