Description
The Volvo EW160E is another successful model from the Lego Technic series. As the name suggests, a Volvo excavator is being built here. What’s astonishing is how much attention to detail is being given by Lego Technic. Assembling the model is a lot of fun, but you should pay attention exactly, because it’s relatively complicated. Due to the numerous functions, the Volvo offers a lot of fun even after completion. The pneumatic functions are also remarkable - the now not-quite-new V2 system works excellently. In addition, the Pneumatic System is very well installed and the excavator is sufficiently stable to withstand permanent pumping. All in all, the Volvo EW160E is an impressive model that shouldn’t be missing from any collection and, naturally, it gets the highest rating of six stars.
