The
Bell B60E is an articulated dump truck with an unloaded
weight of 42 tonnes and it is capable of carrying a
payload of 55 tonnes giving a total weight of 97 tonnes.
Packaging
The packaging is a windowed
Bell-branded box with a
photo of the real machine on the back. The model is
secured to a clear plastic former with cable ties.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review
model.
There is no information included about the real machine
or model.
Detail
The base of the front part is a plastic plate with some
detailing. Under the body the chassis has more
detailing with the transmission and suspension detailed. The rubber tyres look
good and they are mounted on wheels which have
the inside and outside faces detailed.
The front of the machine has a tiny Bell badge on the front,
and the lights and grille are detailed well. The
towing eyes have holes. Under the engine cover is
a detailed plastic
engine which has the Mercedes-Benz logo on it.
The cab looks good and the handrails and
mirrors are soft plastic. Textured surfaces are on
the steps to the cab.
Behind the cab there is a plastic exhaust and an armoured hose crosses the pivot point.
The dump body has a differently coloured inside surface.
A plastic see-through grille is positioned on the
leading edge. The mud flaps mounted
forward of the rear axle are metal. The red stoplights
at the rear are formed of graphics, and there are rock
deflectors and a safety cable.
Features
The wheels roll easily.
The real suspension is modelled but was not functional
on the review model.
Steering is limited, but good axial rotation is possible at the pivot point.
At the front the engine cover opens up and
the cab also tilts but the
angles are restricted. They can just be posed in a
tilted position.
The tipping angle of the body is excellent.
Quality
The model has a reasonable metal content with a number
of plastic parts.
The paint is generally very good and the graphics are
sharp.
Price
The price represents
good value overall.
Overall
This is another nice quality Bell ADT model by USK.
Similar to the B45E which was introduced at the same
time, It
has some nice detailing and features at a good price
level.
Footnotes
The model first appeared before the Nuremberg Toy Fair
in 2019 and was available afterwards.
