International Harvester TD25 Bulldozer

This is the International TD25 bulldozer in 1:50th scale from First Gear. The level of detail on this model is fantastic and has been an eagerly anticipated release.

The individually linked metal tracks are supperbly detailed and are a nice replication of the tracks on the real machine. The track frames have working oscillation with spring tensioned idler wheels allowing smooth rotation of the tracks.

The detail provided in the operators cabin is impressive with all operator controls fully recreated including foot controls, levers and the dials on the instrument panel are visible with a fine mesh rear screen and open ROPS finishing off the cab detailing.

The open engine compartment shows off a highly detailed engine block with exhaust stack, air filters and hydraulic pipework for the blade all reproduced along with a photo etched front mesh radiator grill and front facing work lights.

The blade can be raised, lowered and tilts slightly and has a detailed cutting edge and reinforced central section for scraper pushing while the rear of the model features a functional 3 shank ripper complete with flexible hydraulic pipework.

This is without doubt one of the most detailed International models to date and is worthy of adding to any collection. There is also a limited edition version in White available
