This is a model of the Mammoet Mercedes-Benz Arocs SLT
BigSpace.
It is a limited edition of 500 models, and is one of the
first truck models developed by IMC.
Packaging
The model comes in a
high quality box enclosed by a Mammoet-branded sleeve
with a photo of the real truck. Inside the box the
model is held in high quality foam.
The review model had no missing parts or defects.
A uniquely numbered Mammoet certificate is also included.
Detail
It has a detailed 8x4 chassis
with detailed steering. The
transmission components are modelled and the tyres are different on the steering and driven axles.
The wheels are very detailed and the hubs are
highlighted in red.
There is a towing hitch at the front and another at the
rear.
The cab has air horns and aerials on the roof together
with a nice light bar. The Arocs grille is impressive
and it has a fixed Convoi Exceptionnel sign. The many
graphics are very sharp and there is a fleet number on
the cab. There is a number
plate which is accurate to the one on the truck shown in
the picture on the box, although it is located
differently.
Behind the cab the big equipment tower has lights and
tanks on top, and the exhaust looks good too. There are
coiled lines and a nice grille on one side. Diamond
plated surfaces are at the base of the tower and there
is a fine gauge ladder on the side.
At the rear the lights have lenses and the mud flaps
have graphics.
A driver is included as a separate part. It
appears to be on the small side and is wearing a helmet
so it does not look quite right in the cab.
Features
The Arocs has reasonable steering movement available on
the front axles.
A separate fifth wheel is provided so the tractor can
accommodate trailers with a larger kingpin.
The cab has opening doors. These work well, and
open to a good angle.
Quality
This is a high quality model with a high metal
content.
The paint finish and graphics are high quality.
Price
It is a limited edition model, and is priced
accordingly.
Overall
It is nice to see IMC develop its own truck
models after relying on Tekno trucks for so long.
This one is very nice quality and the opening cab doors
are something different compared to most models of this
type although the tilting cab ahs been sacrificed.
Footnotes
The model appeared in February 2020.
