 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.
