[REVIEW] 42079 - Heavy Duty Forklift

[N-4K0]

I got my package with 42079 and 42080 yesterday and have built the forklift and I've been wondering why they used axle pins in place of regular black pins some places. It makes no sense to me, but oh well.

I was wondering about this as well, I settled by the next:

- those are needed for the B-model,

- they help for easier assembly with several pins,

- or both.

I tend to first option, as some simmetrycal sub-assemblies are built differently, and must say, it is pretty clever where and how they hid these axle pins.

Having built the B model, it is the the above one. They're 6 blue, 3 red, axle pins left.

Got bored and built the B model and I have to say I am glad I did. I do like the forklift however I dare say the tow truck is every bit as good, enough so that I will probably buy another set. Surprisingly there were very few parts left over from the A model, 50 or 60 and I really like the way the lift arm functions. Anyway anyone on the fence about buying this set should get it, good parts and two good models to build.
