Reminder to self: get the Technic 40 year anniversary model and also rebuild the 8860 on which it was based (via Brickset: LEGO set guide and database)

Some 7 years ago, I missed the [Wayback/Archive] Technic 40 year anniversary model | Brickset: LEGO set guide and database.
Hopefully by now I have had time to get the various underlying boxes and build it, together with reviving the 8860 I still have from my child-hood time.
Pictures from Brickset:

You need these sets for it:
- Set 42057, 100 parts – 50% of 42057’s 199 parts
- Set 42061, 136 parts – 52% of 42061’s 260 parts
- Set 42063, 330 parts – 55% of 42063’s 603 parts

I fixed quite a few problems already and will need to take apart about half for some problems we recently discovered. Is going to be fun! Thanks for the DM! When mom passed away last year we found back my old box. Remember this one? It misses some bits though.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@TheCarGuru @LEGO_Group I had not seen it in like 35 years or so (: When looking up the model online, I seem to have missed the anniversary (which was released right after my brother had a one-sided cycling accident had recovered from the injuries for 3 months at our home)”
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@TheCarGuru @LEGO_Group Will probably try to find the underlying sets somewhere later this year (see profile) and try to get both the 8860 and anniversary one built.”
