Packaging
The model comes in a Wirtgen branded box and is enclosed
between trays. Soft paper protects it.
The review
model had no defects or missing parts.
The model comes complete with no assembly required and
there are no instructions. There is no information
about the real machine.
Detail
The wheels are metal with heavy chunky tyres having a
deep tread. Hoses run to the rear wheels. Underneath
the model the rotor is large with
finely crafted metal picks which are tipped with red
paint.
The large cab has thin grab rails and mirror/camera supports,
painted lights and wipers on the windows. Inside,
the cab detail is very good. Outside the cab the
access platforms are anti-slip and there are more high
metal quality handrails.
The engine bay has some really nice mesh grilles on the
top and under the cover the engine is detailed in
plastic parts. There are some very fine chrome mesh
grilles on the side. An exhaust pipe is also
modelled.
At the rear the mixing tank is a nice metal casting with good detailing.
There is a Wirtgen logo, sharp Wirtgen
graphics and a video camera. Hydraulic hoses
run to the wheel supports.
Features
Both axles have linked steering and a very good angle
can be achieved.
The rotor rotates and there is an adjustable flap
on the front and rear edges. The whole assembly can
also be raised and lowered.
The cab can slide sideways and the seat and controls can
be rotated.
The engine cover opens.
Quality
Very little plastic is used and the model has a high
quality feel.
The paint and graphics are very good.
Price
It is reasonable value.
Overall
This is a solid model of the latest 240 series Wirtgen
machine. It has excellent functionality and also
makes a good transport load.
