Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

Erik was talking about the curved panel at the top of the image, not the beam on the back of the plane.

It's the best B-model in quite some time!

Looks more like a Mobile Track Solutions 3630T to me.

Tracked backhoe! TRACKED BACKHOE!

Excavator looks cool! Great to see that 2-in-1 logo as well.

It literally tells you in the parts list! It literally tells you in the parts list!

According to TLG, 8283 (Telehandler, 2006) was a team effort, with several designers all contributing to it. However, when I asked David Bird, who also designed for the Technic department in that timeframe, he told me it was Alfred Pedersen who designed 8283. If that is the case, then was Alfred the lead designer for that set, and who else added to it?

Cool stuff!

A was Markus. B was Milan.

Oh, seriously?

Not to mention the actual Solo movie...

The part (actually, two parts) I have most problems with is this: and this: Seriously, it takes this thing less than a month to start grinding and squeaking. I took 42094 apart and built the B; after rebuilding the A, the cab wouldn't turn properly! I remember @Bartybum saying something about the one on his 42043 seizing up as well.

The cab doesn't have to rotate - it only does that on the VC model. Why not do the Saddle Trac?

This is looking totally crucial! Great work.

It's possible that these two sets of parts come from different assembly lines. I have noticed that some white parts look yellower than others.

Very cool! Nice use of stickers from 42082.

Make that two reviews.

Yippee skip, yet another "problem with 42114" topic...

This is coming along great!

All very, very nice.

So if it's not motorized, this set might include the pump from 42053.

42082 was the 2018 flagship for sure.

So, it's 8285 again, then?

Per @Conchas: Yellow treads. Mostly yellow with black accents. LA-powered blade.
