    Then it all boils down to how much difference one is willing to tolerate between a real life machine and the model based on it, non?

    I presume that some members are invoking alternative facts to bolster their stances in his discussion, non? Like: Fact: The model should only be called a model after a specific kind of real life machine if it manages to get a large part of the appearance and proportions right. Alternative fact: If the models have some common parts and functions with a real life machine then it is sufficient to call the model with the name of that machine.

    For the next mobile crane I wanna see the outriggers made with the new outriggee gear rack and the second stage controlled by pneumatic cylinders. A combination of motorized and pneumatic functions, like 42043. The next mobile crane will probably be released in 5 years.

    It looks cleaner and more closed but it feels weird. I feel conflicted.

    In my first build of the 42078 B, as the fork goes up the push the trash bin cover up perfectly. But in the second time it is always stuck in the middle and requires a lot of force from the LA to push the cover back, even when I build accurately and have rechecked many times So I made a small mod to the linkage of the cover. Hope it helps for people facing the same problem.

    I bought my Mack earlier this year and as I just took it out yesterday for a display the white panels of the container already turned yellow -.-

    Leaking even before a catalogue is released is tantamount to treason, you know
  8. Ngoc Nguyen
    One does not simply know the source for the pre-catalogue leak. Most of the time they turn out to be right anyway, so why bother.

    Last year 42069 was an instant two-set purchase for me. This year it is 42078 and 42079.

    I think you mean lavish
  12. Ngoc Nguyen
    Yes it is

    Nah, it's called upselling. Kinda like "Now that you've got the 42082, how about getting a 42080?".

    Has anyone attempted to replace the 5x7 panels on the hood with the 5x11 ones? Can you share some pictures? The 5x11 panels can be taken from the doors.

    I think it's like in 2016. There are two small sets before the pullbacks: 42044, and 42045. In 2019 these small sets will be 42088 and 42089.

    It appears to be a firefighting skill contest. The fire racer carries several firefighters with a ladder in the back. When the car passed a gantry frame the firefighters quickly erected the ladder and climbed to the top of the gantry.

    Oops wrong thread sorry.

    With due respect, may I recommend to you gentlemen that the intended reason and purpose of this discussion assembly may not cover the unsubstantiated prospect of upcoming automobile replicas? /in British middle class accent and Victorian era conversational style/

    If 2020 is to start with 42100 then 2019 2H will have 3 sets: 42097, 42098, 42099.
  23. Ngoc Nguyen
    Since there are 8 sets already I think this is the full list for 2019 1H. That means number 42085, 42086, 42087, 42088 would probably go unused. Maybe there will be sets for 42087 and 42088, but not for all 4 of them. Can't really see TLG releasing 12 sets for 1H.
  24. Ngoc Nguyen
    I'm curious to see if TLG would ever do a dually with 56 x 34 rim and if they do, how they would design the attachment for two rims.

    Another pair of cop and rob then. Feels like 2016 all over again
