 Comment on this model.
The real bucket is usually used on the largest draglines
such as the Caterpillar 8750.

bucket securely packed between expanded polystyrene trays.
There were no defects on the review model.
There is
no information included about the real bucket.
Detail
and Features
The bucket is huge, and a heavy
piece of metal. It weighs around 1kg. The
details are good with very impressive teeth on the front
configured as a reverse spade lip. The hitches are
vertical and the arch anchor brackets are female.
The details within the casting are very good with wear
components and impressive teeth.
Plastic timber baulks and securing chains are included
for use when the bucket is posed as a load.
Quality
and Price
This is a high quality model which is finished well with
very good paintwork. It is a heavy part made
entirely of metal and the price reflects this.
Overall
Weiss has produced a high quality part which makes an
excellent heavy haulage load on a suitable vehicle such
as a Drake Trailer. In would also make an
interesting item on a desk.
Footnotes
The bucket was made in two versions. In addition
to this 'new' version, a weathered version was also
made.
