Case CX250C Tracked Excavator
Presented here is the 1:50th scale Case CX250C tracked excavator from Conrad. The Case markings have been updated to the latest design with the machine's designation printed on the engine sides and the Case logo across the boom and counterweight.
The tracked undercarriage has linked metal track pads with triple grouser detailing with sprung idler wheels keeping the tracks tensioned. The track frames have roller and guide wheel detailing along with cast access steps on the sides of each frame.
The upper body has been accurately captured from the full sized machine with textured engine cover and authentically scaled metal safety rails, complete with clip on rear view mirror. The cabin interior has been modelled with a plastic moulding with a roof window installed into the cab frame. A rear view mirror is supplied in the box and needs fitting to the safety rail on the side of the cab.

It is interesting that the digging boom, stick and bucket are cast from a previous casting, that of the Case 1488 with the addition of flexible hydraulic hoses for more detail, including the auxiliary circuit. |

Added pipe detailing has been moulded into the smooth working hydraulic cylinders which are finished in a dark grey colour, as is the bucket. The paint finish is of a high quality, as expected from Conrad while the Case graphics are authentically applied.
