This is one of the series of historic
models produced by NZG.
Packaging
When sold on its own the model comes in a box in the NZG
historic series styling. It comes with a plinth and
clear display case in which the model can be shown.
Detail
The Scania L60 Tractor is a pleasing and well made vehicle.
The chassis has a detailed prop shaft and exhaust pipe and
the wheels have nice metal hubs and tyres. At the
front the bumper and wheel arches are metal and the lights
have small plastic lenses which give a quality feel and
this is continued by the windscreen wipers and door mirrors.
The bodywork is cast very well with hinges and handles present.
Moving to the rear, the fuel tank, wheel arches and rear
bumper are metal.
Features
The Scania L60 has working steering which works well although
cannot it produce a very hard lock without fouling the wheel
arches. The fifth wheel permits any suitable trailer
to be attached.
Quality
It is a well made model with a very good paint finish.
There is a good level of detail.
Price
The price of the L60 is a little high for the size and features
of the model.
Overall
As a historic model the Scania L60 is a good quality model
and collectors of this type of model will be generally pleased
with it. A little more detail and functionality would
have improved it further.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in February
2007. It is available in a red and white combination,
and in grey. The model reviewed here is part of a
set with the Liebherr Form 6 crane which is sold as
model number 664.
