This model is a
Mercedes-Benz Actros 6x4 + 3
axle Semi Low Loader and a Volvo FH4 8x4 + 6 axle Semi
Low Loader. They are in the colours
of the Dutch lifting and haulage specialist, Mammoet.
Packaging
The box has Mammoet
branding. Inside, the model is contained
within a plastic former.
The set had no defects or missing parts.
The only assembly to do is to fit door mirrors.
Detail
The underside of the
tractors have reasonable detailing in
the plastic parts. The tyres have a tread pattern.
The cabs
are metal and nicely decorated in Mammoet colours and a
fleet number is included. There are beacon lights on
the roofs, and the front grilles are very good
for the scale.
The semi trailers
are mainly metal parts with simple
detailing underneath. The goosenecks have spare tyres and storage
boxes.
There are textured surfaces on the decks
including plastic replica timber sections. They have yellow stripes
and the 6 axle trailer has excellent detailed graphics.
The rear ends of the trailers have nice
details.
Features
Both tractors roll well. They do not have steering.
The trailer decks
are extendible.
Quality
The quality is good for an inexpensive set.
The paintwork has a good finish and the graphics are
very sharp.
Price
It is good value set.
Overall
This is
a good looking set in 1:87 scale, and it would also look
good with the Liebherr LTM 1500 in the
same scale. It would also be a good set for an HO
scale model railway.
Footnotes
The Mammoet
model number is 410103.
