The
Doosan DL 420-7 Wheel Loader has
an operating weight of 24 tonnes.
This version of the model is in
Concept-X branding, which is
Doosan's technology solutions
effort.
Packaging
The model comes in a
hard carry case with Doosan
Concept-X branding. It is
protected by soft paper and
black foam.
The review model had no missing parts or defects.
There is no information about the real machine or
Concept-X.
Detail
The undercarriage is
reasonably simple underneath and
the axles are detailed. The
plastic wheels are
well detailed and the tyres have a good tread pattern.
At the rear there is a fine mesh
grille and a fan is just visible
behind it. The
counterweight has nice lights
and chevron graphics.
There are more etched grilles on
the sides and top of the engine
cover.
There are no hydraulics crossing
the steering pivot point but
tiny graphics add to the look.
The cab is detailed with a
plastic mirror and a beacon
light on the roof. There is also a small aerial.
Handrails, ladders and mirrors
are plastic parts.
The loader arm connections are
very discretely done and there
are hydraulic hoses running to
the rams. Nice graphics
are applied.
The bucket is a metal part.
Features
The wheels roll easily and there is very good steering
across the pivot point. The
rear axle also oscillates.
The bucket
hydraulics have a nice stiffness
and the bucket height and
tipping angle are very good.
The carry angle is a little
shallow.
There are opening engine panels
which reveals a detailed engine
inside. To access the
panels the wheel arches are
hinged.
Quality
This is a nice quality model with a high metal
content and some plastic parts for detailing.
The
Concept-X paint scheme looks
very attractive.
Price
It is fully priced.
Overall
This is a quality wheel loader model with some
interesting features, and the
colour scheme looks good too.
It comes in a high quality hard
case, but of course this does
add to the cost of the model.
