International Harvester 175C "Demolition" Tracked Loader

This is the International 175C Tracked Loader with demolition bucket and rear mounted winch in 1:25th scale from First Gear.

The individually linked metal tracks are supperbly detailed and are an exact replication of the real tracks. Everything looks perfectly scaled. The rear of the model features a detailed rope winch and towing bar.

The detail provided in the operators cabin is awesome, including all the operator levers and foot pedals. There are faithfully reproduced grab rails, a fire extinguisher and even a tool box to finish the detail. There are even sweeps fitted above the bonnet to prevent debris damage and the inclusion of a I.H branded lube can.

The enclosed engine compartment contains plenty of detail, including a very detailed front grill and reproduced engine which is visible behind the removable engine side panels. The functional bucket with grapple is nicely done and the boom is highly detailed and fully functional. This 1:25th scale version has full boom movement and stiff cylinders allowing the boom and bucket to be positioned without moving on their own.

This is without doubt one of the most detailed models available for the price, costing around £90. It is worthy of adding to any collection, especially when displayed with the I.H TD25 dozers.
