Trailers extended.
Part of a Mammoet fleet.

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.
