This model is a Mercedes-Benz 4x4 Unimog U 400 series
which is a flexible utility vehicle with all-wheel drive
ability.
It is fitted with a
Mulag MKM 700 Combination Mower.
It is in the colours of Escota, which is part of the
VINCI Group.
Packaging
It comes in a NZG branded box and
inside it is held within a plastic display case.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
model.
There is no information about the model or the real
vehicle.
Detail
The Unimog has a detailed 4x4 chassis which is
modelled in metal, and the wheel hubs are metal too.
The tyre design is the same on all wheels.
At the front the lights are painted and the Mercedes-Benz
logo is modelled well.
There is an attachment plate for the tool.
The cab is detailed with rigid lights, mirrors and
number plate assemblies. Textured steps lead up to the
cab and the graphics are detailed and sharp. The vehicle type is shown as a U 430.
Inside the cab there is a Mercedes-Benz logo on the
steering wheel and the centre console is finely detailed
with switches.
Behind the cab the exhaust and air intake look good.
The fuel and water tanks also look good with highlighted filler
caps.
The body is metal and the drop sides are detailed and
non-functional, and the graphics are good.
The rear lights have good looking plastic lenses and
twin boxes have very fine grille texturing. There is a number plate
and counterweight.
The Mulag mower is a well made part almost completely of
metal. The ram jackets are plastic with a decent
colour match. The large mower head has some sharp
graphics applied.
The plastic display case is good quality and it includes
a name plate which denotes the Unimog as a U 430.
Features
The model can be displayed in its display case, or
removed by unscrewing two securing screws.
The Unimog rolls well and the steering works well and
achieves a good angle.
The mower can be attached or removed. The small
mower can be clipped out of service or rotated and
extended for mowing with the head being adjustable for
angle also. The large mower boom also rotates and
has three rams controlling the movement. The head
is adjustable for angle and rotation.
Quality
This is another well made Unimog by NZG with a high metal content.
The paint and graphics are very good.
Price
It is a fully priced model.
Overall
Unimogs are flexible trucks and this an interesting
model
variant with the mower attachment being nicely
implemented. It looks attractive in the Escota
colour scheme.
