Description
The Power Machine with Pneumatic Tank from the Lego Technic series belongs in my opinion to the best models ever. The assembly is already quite complicated and requires great concentration. There’s also the fact that it looks so much like the original, which, given the relatively low number of parts, is impressive. Thanks to the air tank which stores compressed air, the pneumatic pump does not have to be used again for each movement. This guarantees lots of fun, also because the Power Machine is very robustly built. A really well-made model that more than deserves its highest rating. Maybe that's why Lego released the model three times? In 2001 and 2004 the Power Machine was sold with item number 8439. The 2004 model does not differ much from the other two models, except that a few parts were replaced (the short black axle, which then had two notches, and the pneumatic cylinder).
