Well heres the thing though, the new Volvo counterweights don't have those reflective plastic lights anymore, they are just reflective stickers now, so NZG just did exactly what the real one is. I mean I like the old counter weight design to, looks better with the lights casted in. It would have been better if Volvo actually had the new design with those stickers indented into the counter weight.

Having all those perks to the model adds alot in my opinion, like Motorart never adds hydro lines, except to the boom cylinders on the excavators. Along with that Motorart uses alot of plastic when this model is 100% diecast every CM, witch gives the model a very heavy weight.

As for the EC700's tracks, they are to skinny I agree, and I wish they were metal.


oh i agree those perks do add a lot. but i could do without some of the perk if it ment getting different once. i have yet to find a model that has them all.

for someone who is constantly changing up there diorama's and "reposing" the models some of those perks are to fragile. i've had my share of breaks with models.

Same here, I have broken my share of parts on the models as well.
