 Comment on this model.
The Yanmar SV26 is a sub 3 tonne machine designed for
urban renewal and landscaping.
Packaging
The packaging is a small windowed Yanmar-branded box and the model is
contained between a pair of clear plastic formers.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review
model.
There is
no information about the real
machine or model.
Detail
There is little detail underneath other than the basic
structural frame. The track frames are simple with
no working rollers and the rubber tracks have a good
tread pattern.
At the front is a simple dozing blade.
The cab is really nice with very good detailing that the
larger 1:32 scale allows, with the exception being that
there are no wipers on the windscreen. The controls are modelled realistically and there is a textured rubber
mat floor. There are graphics on the console under
the seat. On the outside there are thin grab rails
and the windows have the seals represented. The
mirrors are finely crafted too.
The body is a very nice casting with the Yanmar name
highlighted in relief at the rear, and the grilles are
modelled too. Small warning
graphics add detail.
The boom and stick have very convincing hydraulics made
up of hoses and thin metal pipes running to the tool
attachment point, with the main rams modelled just with
simple jackets. The connection rivets
are visible but they reflect the silver connectors on
the real machine.
The simple metal bucket is fine.
Features
The tracks are very
stiff but can be moved.
The dozing blade can be lowered and raised.
Rotation of the body is fine.
The boom rotates to the right and left by about 45º
and the movement of boom, stick and bucket is good.
Quality
It has a nice quality feel with a high metal content.
The paint is very good with high quality graphics.
Price
It is good value.
Overall
Motorart has produced a very nice quality model for
Yanmar and full use has been made of the larger scale to
provide good detailing. It is highly
recommended.
Footnotes
The model
was generally available from August 2014.
