How about "nope" -
I dont know... I'll accept it as the A25G then. All is well and happy.
-
This model is more representative of A25G, which seems to be the smallest in the Volvo hauler line. But even in the smallest hauler the cabin wouldnt be that big.
-
I don't get this part. If the model is scaled around the wheels, then the cabin would be smaller, which would consume less part, which should lead to less part expenses?
-
Well, technically, the box name DOES NOT say it is the A60H. So the real model maybe a smaller hauler.
-
I think the designer wants to incorporate the Defender mudguards, so the cabin and the hand rails must be scaled accordingly. The hazard light is also disproportionate. If it's true to scale then it should be this instead
-
The cabin and the hand rails are way too disproportionate. In the real hauler they are fairly small compared to the whole tractor unit.

The XL LAs are indeed put at a V shape
-
It's too bulky imo
-
I cant figure out how the transmission is gonna work and how the connection points are like if the XL LAs are aligned in the V shape like the way in the real hauler. Usually LAs only move in one direction, and they move in a plane that's perpendicular to the ground. But in the V shape, the plane that contains the LAs lie in an angle to the ground, and the angle changes when the LAs extend. And the angle between the LAs and the baseline in that plane changes as well.

Thr single side swingarm setup has been discussed by the designer for 42063. He said a real one side swing arm wasnt possible due to issues related to balance or structural integrity of some sort. That's why the swing arm in 42063 connects to the wheel on one side but to the main body on both sides.
-
@jrx How are the two XL LAs aligned? Are they parallel or are they in the v shape?
-
I think the three line star will be created with small panels #21 and #22 in LBG

Imagine the reactions if 42111 turns out to be two pullbacks Corvette-sized car

42053 - Volvo EW160E
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The only 42053 review that's missing now is @Jim's -
My guess for designer-set matchup: Milan (grohl) worked on the Helicopter. He only designed the 42104 B for 1H. Uwe Wabra worked on the Volvo. He already designed a Volvo hauler and a 6x6 truck before. Markus err probably did the Supercar. Or the Cement mixing truck.
-
And according to promobrick 42111 is one car, not two.
-
@jrx Does the model have the 5x11 panel in dark blue?
-
It's the only thing that works in the old Technic style. It has a 4 function distribution gearbox.
-
Yes please
-
This is the only set that I expect to have a B model. The B model can be a truck with a mixer trailer. Most truck sets have B models like that.
-
And the V-12
-
Yes. 42107 used to have another code name besides "2w", and this code name suggests it was sth else. But whatever, it turns out to be indeed a motorcycle. Even codenames cant be trusted nowadays.
