The
Wirtgen W 120 Fi Cold Milling Machine weighs around 21 tonnes. It
is used for removing carriageway surfacing in depths up
to 330mm, and can mill to a width 1200mm.
Packaging
The model comes in a Wirtgen branded box and is enclosed
between expanded polystyrene trays.
The review model had no defects or missing parts.
The model comes with a bag containing a couple of spare
small pins.
There is no
information about the real machine.
Detail
The tracks are in a yellow
rubber-like materila, and red scrapers are detailed.
They are mounted on small frames with
hydraulic hoses run to the front tracks. Underneath the
model the milling drum has finely crafted metal picks
which are tipped with red paint. The
primary conveyor has a rubber belt.
At the rear the steps and cab area have textured
surfaces, and the handrails are metal. The control
console has very detailed screens and panels. The
roof is metal with side glazing.
The sides of the body have highlighted panel handles and
sharp graphics. There are see-though grilles on top and
to the side, and detailed equipment can be seen
behind the side grille.
Mirrors are fixed to the front of the
machine and a large hose for the vacuum system runs
to the
conveyor.
The conveyor structure is elevated by twin cylinders with realistic thin support
cables. It is metal with a grille underneath and a
rubber belt inside which is realistically textured.
Features
Each track unit has tracks which are stiff, but can be
rotated by hand. They are mounted on pivots at the end
of legs which are extendible to adjust the height of the
machine. The front pair of tracks has linked steering,
and one rear leg can be rotated to outside the line of
the machine.
The milling drum rotates, and a side panel can be opened
to allow the milling drum to be removed.
The cab roof can be lowered to reduce the transport
headroom. It is held by friction which was loose
on the review model.
The main engine compartment
cover can be raised and posed in an open position.
The engine is very detailed.
The conveyor can be folded to reduce the transport
length. It can be raised and lowered and also swung
from to each side.
Quality
This is a high quality model with limited use of
plastic.
The paint and graphics are very good.
Price
It is reasonably priced.
Overall
This model is up to the usual high standard of models
for Wirtgen. Both the detailing and functionality
are pleasing, and it poses well with related models.
