Yes, it is 8862, sorry for the mistake. It was really fun to build it
and watching it functioning. Great model that incorporates both pure
mechanical and pneumatics mechanisms for its functions. As you also said
it is one of the sexiest sets that ever produced in technic line. Now
I'm waiting four more miracles from the "Lego God" like this:
8859 Tractor
8460 Pneumatic Crane
8855 Prop Plane
8868 Air Claw Rig
:-)
