The Liebherr
A 910 Compact is a smaller sized wheeled excavator.
It has an operating weight in the 12 tonne range.
Packaging
The model comes in a Liebherr branded box.
Inside the model is wrapped in soft paper and rests in a polystyrene tray.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review
model.
It is fully assembled,
and a grab attachment is also included.
There is no information about the model or the real
machine.
Detail
The underside of the
carrier has the transmission detailed in plastic, and
the the axles are nicely detailed also. There is
an unusual split dozing blade at one end.
The cab has a metal grab rail and a thin windscreen wiper.
The windows have detailed frames and seals giving it a
detailed and realistic appearance which is enhanced by
the highlighted handle and door hinge.
The curved body
has the Liebherr name embossed at the back, and painted
lights and small graphics add to the appearance.
Grilles on the side are formed by graphics and side and
rear video cameras are modelled. The mirror
assembly is metal.
Up on top the engine
cover is very detailed and there is an etched grille,
with other parts highlighted.
At the boom foot there are many soft rubber hydraulic
hoses which give a complex look.
The hydraulics on the boom are
complex with
silver plastic pipes indicated on the second stage boom,
and there are
more soft hoses. The connection pins are very
discrete.
The bucket is a good casting with nice teeth and the
quick hitch facility is modelled effectively. The
grab is an excellent metal part.
Features
The
wheels roll well without being fully free spinning. The
steering axle performs well and it also oscillates.
The model rotates well although it is a little on the
stiff side.
The movement of the
two-part boom and stick is very good with a pleasant
stiffness in the cylinders. Digging at depth is also
fine. The boom also rotates on its pivot point to
give offset digging.
The bucket is removable and can also be reversed.
The grab rotates and also swings on the connection
although it is stiff so has to be moved by hand.
The grab opens and closes very well.
Quality
This is a high quality model with a very good finish.
The metal content is high and the paint and graphics are
excellent.
Price
The model is good value.
Overall
This is a
model certainly has the feel of a high quality model and
it looks very convincing.
