LEGO Technic 42147 - B Model Excavator Review

[Paul B Technic]

I am a big fan of LEGO Technic set 42147, I have built a number of C models based on this set. Recently I decided to build the B model of this set, which is an excavator.

The LEGO Technic 42147 B model is a prime example of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that LEGO enthusiasts have come to expect from the Technic series. As a proud owner of this set, I am impressed by the level of detail and complexity achieved in its design, given the small part count. This review aims to shed light on the remarkable features of this model.

First and foremost, the B model's build quality is outstanding. The precision and accuracy with which each piece fits together is a testament to LEGO's commitment to excellence. From the moment you begin constructing this model, it becomes clear that it is has been well thought out. The mechanisms and mechanisms are engineered to perfection, providing a satisfying building experience.
The functionality of the B Model is truly impressive. 

 

This LEGO Technic set is capable of mimicking the movements of a real-life vehicle. Whether it's driving forwards and backwards, executing tight turns, or lifting and dumping a load, the B Model offers an authentic and engaging play experience.

Furthermore, the attention to detail in the design is surprising for a B model. These details not only contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal but also enrich the playability and functionality of the model.
The construction instructions provided by LEGO are clear, concise, and easy to follow. The step-by-step guide ensures a smooth building process, allowing builders of varying skill levels to assemble the B model without any significant hurdles. Additionally, the set comes with extra pieces, which is always appreciated by LEGO enthusiasts, as it allows for creative customization or acts as a safety net in case a piece is misplaced.

As with any LEGO Technic set, the B model is not without its challenges. Some sections of the build require careful attention to detail and precise alignment, which may pose a slight difficulty for younger or less experienced builders. However, overcoming these challenges is part of the enjoyment of constructing LEGO Technic sets, and the sense of accomplishment upon completing the model is immeasurable.

In conclusion, the LEGO Technic 42147 B model is well worth purchasing just to be able to build the B model. Its impeccable build quality, impressive functionality, and attention to detail make it a must-have for LEGO Technic enthusiasts and collectors alike. With its well thought-out features, the B model truly stands out as a testament to the endless possibilities that LEGO Technic offers.

I haven't noticed before, that this set has B model :) thank You for review!

Somehow I more enjoy building smaller sets, up to mid size.

Thanks for your review. The fact that the instructions are only delivered digitally has so far kept me from building the B model. But after your review I will make up for that in a timely manner.

Yeah, digital instructions suck, especially for smaller models where a manual could easily be included.
