JCB 190T Tracked Skid Steer

Presented here is the 1:35th scale JCB 190T tracked skid steer loader from Joal. The boom can be raised to an impressive height, simulating the full range of movement found on the full sized machine however, the bucket tip is very limited and large silver headed rivets are used on the linkage and don't look particularly realistic, although these can be touched up with a little black paint.

The model has some very well engineered rubber tracks with an accurate tread pattern moulded into the surface, giving the model a very realistic appearance. The main raised drive sprocket and idler wheels roll smoothly allowing the tracks to rotate with just enough tension to prevent the tracks from sagging.

The rear body and grill casting is crisp and well formed with accurate printing of the JCB logos whilst the cab interior has been captured well with the seat sporting the JCB logo and the joystick controls and display panel all highlighted, complete with integrated work lights in the cab roof and an amber beacon.
