Liebherr HTM804 LTB Concrete Mixer "Meichle + Mohr"
Presented here is the limited edition 1:50th scale model of the Liebherr HTM804 concrete mixer with LTB conveyor in the company livery of Meichle + Mohr from NZG.

The rear of the model features working extendable stabilisers with screw down pads that keep the model steady when the conveyor is deployed.

A pivoting access ladder has been added to the rear platform which is integrated into the mixer frame, complete with a rotating chute and a conveyor that can be swung round into a working position with the boom able to be raised and lowered. |
The end of the boom can also be adjusted and can reach an arc of about 270 degrees around the truck chassis. The hydraulic cylinders are very stiff so the conveyor frame can be positioned as required and will stay in position.
The detail on the model is high with working steering of the front two axles and a replicated drivetrain through to the rear axles which are reasonably detailed.
The Actros chassis and cab are faithfully reproduced along with rear view mirrors added to the cab frame, two radio aerials and air horn on the roof and a replicated interior. The contoured bumper has integrated driving lights with clear plastic lenses and small, amber tinted indicator lights with textured access steps inset into the side panels.
The rear of the cabin has a pair of windows allowing more light into the cab to reveal the interior detailing while the large exhaust silencer box and air intakes are mounted to the chassis behind the cab.
The colourful graphics of the Meichle + Mohr company have been applied very well on the drum with matching artwork printed on the front and sides of the cabin. As expected from NZG, the paint finish is flawless throughout.
