The model is constructed with a fully enclosed cabin which has a simplistic modelled interior consisting of the driver's seat with integrated armrests and the central console topped with a steering wheel. The glazing is clear with the front windscreen wiper engraved into the surface although this has not been highlighted with paint.

The rear wheels have a very intricate pattern moulded into the surface with grey finished wheel hubs showing the bolt fixing detailing. |
Two steps are integrated into the frame on one side of the model giving access to the cabin while the chassis has working articulating steering of the frame which is powered by a hydraulic cylinder which is smooth in operation.

The rear of the model features a large bonnet which can be opened to reveal a simply replicated engine block, radiator and cooling system within. The hinge mechanism allows the engine cover to remain in the raised position. The surface detailing of the plastic engine is good with various components including the radiator housing and fixed piping added. The metal castings are fairly simple with the thickly applied paint partially hiding the finer surface detailing. The compaction drum has a smooth surface with no detailing included on the inner sides of the drum. |
The front frame has raised impressions incorporated into the casting and crisp printing of the Atlas Copco & Dynapac markings and machine designation.
