 Comment on this model.
The Liebherr A 920 Wheeled Excavator is a smaller
machine with an operating weight between 19 and 21
tonnes.
Packaging
The model comes in a standard
Liebherr-branded box with the model packed within good quality
foam rubber.
There were no defects or missing parts on
the review model.
No instructions are provided and there is no information
about the real machine. Three mirrors have to be fitted
and this is easy enough once you have worked out which
mirror goes where. An aerial is also fitted to the
rear of the cab.
Detail
The detailed transmission is modelled in plastic and the tyres
have a good tread pattern and are mounted on plastic
wheels. At one end of the undercarriage is a metal
dozing blade and at the other is a bar for the grab.
The detailing of the body is of a high standard with
realistic small warning signs, painted panel handles and
graphics to represent grilles. The lights at the
rear have nice plastic lenses. The mirrors are not silvered
but the handrails
are chromed metal and reasonably thin.
The cab is largely plastic but
detailed and the interior detail is very good.
The boom and stick have very good hydraulics with soft
plastic hoses and stiff pipe arrays. Connections
are made with small brass rivets.
A quick connector allows one of two tools to be
attached. The metal bucket is a detailed casting
and the grab is all plastic but with excellent colour
match to the grey metal parts.
Features
It rolls well and one axle steers to a reasonable angle
and also oscillates.
The blade can be raised and lowered.
It rotates smoothly.
The range of movement of the two-piece boom and stick is good.
The
clamshell grab rotates and has jaws which open and close in
tandem.
Quality
It is well made and the use of plastic in the cab does
not detract from the overall look.
The
paintwork and graphics are of a good standard.
Price
The model is reasonable value.
Overall
This is another very good Liebherr model by
Conrad with interesting detailing and effective functionality. It is highly recommended.
