Features
The steering on the tractor unit is very good, and this is matched by the steering on the trailer. Here all three axles front and rear steer in unison and the are connected to the towing bar at the front. The mechanics of this are truly exceptional with ties that run the length of the trailer, as well as the interlinking amongst the two sets of triple axles.
Strangely for a combination set such as this, a pin was not provided to hitch the trailer to the tractor even though the model is able to be joined this way. This omission has been queried with NZG and the review will be updated with their advice when received.
QualityThe paint and decals on this model are of the highest quality as is some of the fine casting involved. As this is coupled with an excellent standard of detailing the overall look of the model is first class.
Price
The model is very good value for the high standard offered.
Summary
An excellent model which looks very good with the appropriate piece of plant on the trailer.
