1:50th Scale Liebherr A904C Wheeled Excavator

The Liebherr A904C wheeled excavator is presented here in 1:50th scale by Norscot. The undercarriage features front mounted working blade and two point outriggers at the rear. The wheels are freely rotating but do not feature working steering.

The 3.8 Metre hydraulically adjustable boom is fitted with a stick and quick coupler modelled on the Liebherr quick change system, complete with hydraulic hose detail and a set of work tools consisting of a wide grading bucket and clamshell grab. The grading bucket has working tilt mechanism while the clamshell grab has 360 degree rotation and opening clamshell.

The operator's station and controls are fully modelled and the cab exterior has plastic grab rails and rear view mirrors added. The new "C" version styling is present on the model with sloping engine cover and large LIEBHERR markings on the boom.

This is the first Liebherr excavator model to be produced by Norscot and the results are very impressive. The stick does not have the full range of movement and is the only dissapointment on a great model. The addition of work tools, and the ability to change them with the R904C model from Norscot is a good plus point and Norscot deserve congratulating on these great models.
