Lexion 590R
The Lexion 590 R is a large scale model offered by Norscott.
When the model arrived I was impressed by its shear size. The
detail on the railings, lights, and decals looked extremely
realistic even at the 1:50 scale.
The amount of moving parts on this model was very limited with
only the grain tank extension opening and the feederhouse raises
and lowers. Other than these two parts along with the wheels
this was a pretty static model. I was also not impressed with
the design of the feederhouse as it came apart the only two time
s I opened it. The plastic pins on the metal doors were very
well designed.
After attaching both the flex head and the 16 row cornhead it
was obvious that a huge display area would be necessary to show
off this model. Without either one of the attachments the Lexion
590R looks rather ordinary and plain. Once they are attached the
model takes on the true nature of its character. I liked the
design and detail included in the model and for someone who has
the space this would make a nice display model to own.
