TWH 022 - Bucyrus 49HR Blast Hole Drill

The paintwork and graphics are very good, and the quality of the modelling is high. There is hardly any plastic used at all.
It is pleasing to see good quality instructions although this is slightly offset by concern that the packaging was not able to fully protect the model during transport.
Price
This is a fairly unique model and does not have any easy comparison with other models. It is not a cheap model and this is a reflection of its size and the detail provided.
Summary
This is a very good addition to the mining sector where previous models have often focussed on prime movers and excavators, and Bucyrus are to be commended for commissioning the 49HR. It looks impressive and the removable roof provides interest when showing off the model. Overall it is highly recommended.
