Review Details
| | Manufacturer:
Scale:
1:500
Part Number: 520591
Design: I was really impressed with the overall design of these vehicles. They look and feel like actual vehciles that you would see at the airport and best of all unlike the difficulties that other manufacturers are having these are actually in the 1:500 scale. What a concept eh? I think the design was also very well done in allowing parts of the plows and the de-icer to be either moveable or interchangeable which allows for greater flexiblity of the pieces so you can arrange the vehicles to appear as you would want on your display.
Details: For such small models I think these are very well detailed. The models are fully made and moulded in the orange plastic however the wheels are painted in black and have the additional silver wheel hubs on top of that. The doors are outlined in grey and the windows are also printed in the silver grey. My only recommendation would be some additional coloring on the plows in maybe black or grey to add a bit more realism and life to them. Otherwise I think these are well detailed enough considering the small size they are featured in.
Realism: I think these vehicles are well detailed enough. The moulding is definately realistic to vehicles that you would actually see in the airport. The orange moulding color though could be improved to a different color to make them a more realistic as the bright orange seems to be a bit unrealistic for all the vehicles to be in that color. The interchangeable parts especially for the de-icer really makes a big difference and can make it either a vehicle in park or one that is hard at work.
