Mercedes Benz Actros MP3 4x4 TruckPresented here is the Mercedes Benz Actros MP3 4x4 truck with tipping body and crane in 1:50th scale from Conrad. The front of the cab features a crisp casting with authentically shaped contours of the Actros MP3 with a chromed Mercedes Benz logo prominent in the grill. The red & white chevron safety panels are crisply printed on the front corners with plastic lenses integrated into the front bumper, complete with small amber indicator lenses on the outer sides and a protective bar and ridged panel fixed to the bottom of the bumper. The tipping body features fold down sides which is a nice touch on the model with a large chromed fuel tank mounted to the side of the chassis. A protective bar is integrated into the rear end of the chassis with light panels, complete with painted lenses also added.
The accurately shaped plastic guards fitted above the rear wheels have fixing detail cast into them with good detailing of the rear suspension system visible from the underside of the model. The drivetrain is complete, from the gearbox through to the distribution box, where driveshafts travel to the front and reax axles. The fully functioning crane is a great addition to the model, with a three stage telescoping boom and precision engineered linkages allowing it to fold within the width of the chassis. The hydraulics are stiff, allowing any pose to be presented and the plastic hook allows a suitable load to be lifted. The outriggers can be extended with screw down pads providing added stability for lifting poses and the tipping body has a good amount of movement with pivoting tailgate and red and white chevron panels crisply printed. The model is packaged in the familiar foam lined inner cardboard wrap with Conrad branded outer printed box. |
