 Comment on this model.
The Liebherr R 936 is a crawler excavator designed for
civil engineering applications.
It has an operating weight in the range 30-34 tonnes and
it typically uses buckets of size 0.70-1.75m³.
Packaging
The model comes in a typical Liebherr branded box.
Inside the model is wrapped in soft paper and rests in a polystyrene tray. There
were no missing parts or defects on the review model,
and no information about the model or the real machine.
It is fully assembled,
and NZG also provides some spare track links and pins.
Detail
The underside of the body has some detailing and the track
pads are metal with bolt heads and grousers. They
are mounted on track frames which have some fine casting
details and also working rollers.
The cab has very thin metal grab rails and windscreen wipers
and the windows have detailed frames and seals.
There is also an aerial and mirror. It looks great
inside with the joysticks and levers being highlighted in black.
The curved body is cast well with excellent graphics and
highlighted panel handles. Up on top the engine
cover is top notch with detail in the casting and tiny
hinges highlighted with silver paint. The grab
rails are metal and other details are carefully painted.
At the boom foot there are many soft rubber hydraulic
hoses which give a complex look.
The hydraulics on the boom are modelled really well with
silver pipes indicated on the boom and cylinders, and
more soft hoses. The rivets used are painted and
small so the look is realistic.
The bucket is a good casting with nice teeth and the
quick hitch facility is modelled effectively.
Features
The tracks are fairly stiff but when loosened up they do
roll on a rough surface.
The model rotates well.
The movement of the boom and stick is very good with a
pleasant stiffness in the cylinders.
The bucket is removable and can also be reversed.
Quality
This is a high quality model with a very good finish.
The metal content is high and the paint and graphics are
really nice.
Price
The model is good value.
Overall
NZG have produced another high quality earthmover for
Liebherr. It is easy to highly recommend.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in
2012.
