|  Comment on this model.
This model is a Mercedes-Benz 4x4 Unimog U400 series which is a flexible utility vehicle with all-wheel drive ability.
Packaging
This version of the model 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 logo is modelled well. The cab is detailed with rigid lights, mirrors and number plate assemblies. Textured steps lead up to the cab and 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 is plastic.
Fuel and water tanks look good with highlighted filler caps.
The body is metal and the drop sides are detailed and non-functional, but the graphics are very good.
The rear lights have good looking plastic lenses and twin boxes have very fine grille texturing. There is also a towing hitch and an NZG model number plate.
Features
The Unimog rolls well and the steering works well and achieves a good angle.
The model can be displayed in its display case, or removed by unscrewing two securing screws.
It can be posed towing a trailer.
Quality
This is another well made model from NZG with a high metal content.
The finish is very good.
Price
It is fair value.
Overall
This is a nicely presented model with the display case giving an additional display option. The functionality is limited but it would pose well with other models.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 2014 and was available from October 2014.
