Atlas 140W Wheeled Excavator
Presented here is the 1:50th scale Atlas 140W wheeled excavator from NZG. The model is an update to the original Terex version, repainted in the new Atlas Maschinen GmbH colours. The model has some very nice detailing including flexible hydraulic pipe work on the boom and stick along with a fully functional boom and bucket linkage.

The red painted grab handles stand out and actually add to the visual impact of the model while the grey and orange paint scheme has been applied perfectly and the colours contrast well. |
The curvy body styling has been modelled well with rear facing light cutouts cast into the rear counterweight. |

The undercarriage has a functional blade at one end and twin stabilisers with pivoting pads at the other which can be lowered to give better stability. The front axle has working steering with authentic twin rubber tyres which have an accurate moulded tread pattern.
The cab has a detailed interior with operator controls and console all visible through the slightly tinted windows whilst the cab frame has an integrated grab rail with rear view mirror, an etched windscreen wiper and roof window with protruding sunscreen.
The paint finish is excellent with accurate placement of the new Atlas markings on the boom, body sides and across the counterweight. Joining the 140W is the new Atlas 225LC tracked excavator, also finished in the new corporate colours (pictured below)
The model is protected well in a two piece polystyrene carton with printed cardboard box which features an image of the full sized machine.
