Mercedes Benz Actros 2-axle Tractor with Box TrailerPresented here is the 1:50th scale Actros 2-axle tractor with 3-axle box trailer decorated in Liebherr colours from Conrad. The front of the model has a crisply cast grill with accurately contoured cutouts showing the cooling grill inside, topped with a chromed Mercedes logo. The bumper has inset light housings with clear plastic lenses while small notches on the ends have amber indicator lenses fitted. The access steps have been highlighted in silver with black door handles visible. Self fit rear view mirrors and aerials are supplied and fit into the holes in the cab frame and roof.
The underside of the truck is sparce, although there is a drive shaft to the rear axle, simulated suspension detailing and a steering front axle which achieves a very good degree of turn. The 3-axle box trailer is a simple construction, featuring opening doors to the rear which achieve a reasonable amount of movement. The doors have grooves along the outer edge which connect together as the doors are closed, while a stop is cast into the roof to prevent excess pressure from pushing the doors into the trailer. The rear board has a full length simulated rubber mat with warning triangles and light clusters all visible, highlighted with coloured paint to simulate the brake, indicator and reversing lights. Behind this panel is a plastic storage box and a full width frame to store the spare wheel. The underside of the trailer has functioning suspension of the three axles with large dimension tyres with an accurate road tread pattern fitted to the silver wheel hubs. Pull down stabilisers are fitted which are stiff enough to hold the weight of the trailer when disconnected from the tractor and a plastic safety bar runs along each side of the frame. The paint finish is very good with authentic Liebherr yellow used throughout, complete with a white stripe running along the sides of the trailer with Liebherr branding towards the rear. |
