This model is a
Mercedes-Benz Arocs 8x4 chassis with Liebherr Concrete
Mixer in a white colour scheme.
Packaging
The model comes in an
NZG branded box with a window.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
model.
There is no information about the real machine.
Detail
This is a heavy model with a relatively low
plastic content. Underneath, the chassis is fully
detailed with only the steering linkages being modelled for
functionality rather than detail. The tyres have a
decent tread pattern and are similar on the steered
and driven
wheels. They have no branding.
The cab has horns and aerials on the roof, and a see-through
roof light. It has mirror cams instead of mirrors. The
Arocs grille is modelled very well. There is a Turkish number plate front and
rear.
Inside the cab, the detail is good, with two tone seats and includes screens
for the mirror cams.
Behind the cab the exhaust pipe looks good. The wheel
arches are metal throughout and the
rear end has nice lights.
The mixer drum is metal. The
water tank is also metal but does not have any branding. At the
rear the access ladder and platform rails are a little
thick.
The loading funnel and discharge chute are metal.
Features
The truck rolls well and the front two axles have linked
steering which can be posed to a moderate angle.
The mixer drum rotates very smoothly.
At the rear the access ladder folds down.
The discharge chute has full side-to-side movement.
Quality
As a heavy model it has a quality feel and the
use of plastic is limited.
The paint
and graphics are to a very good standard.
Price
It is reasonable value.
Overall
This is a typically solid and largely metal
model from NZG. It is well made with reasonable detail and
functionality.
