Crane (R6004)
Rating 7/10,
Great Fun, Detailing could be better.
This is a very quiet runner, with plastic wheels which have
split axels. I have never seen this on a model before and I can only assume
there is a reason for it. The chains are made of real metal and are
functional. The crane has two movements that are controlled by the chains,
which are raising the arm and lifting the hook. The crane also swings around
360°. The crane is operated by two discreet knobs, located on the side of
the crane. The mechanism locks after each move, so that if you lift an item
it will not fall down if you let go! The chassis is made of solid metal,
probably to stop it falling over and is rather heavy. The painting details
is extremely poor, but the model has potential if painted up and the
moulding highlighted.
