1:50th Scale Liebherr PR764 Bulldozer Presented here is the 1:50th scale Liebherr PR764 bulldozer from NZG. The PR764 is the flagship dozer from Liebherr and the world's largest hydrostatic drive dozer so far produced, specially designed for the quarrying and mining sectors with rigid box-section main frame and large driveline components providing an excellent level of reliability and productivity with a driveline producing exceptional thrust and tearout forces across the entire speed range. The Liebherr D9508 A7 8-cylinder turbocharged and direct fuel injection diesel engine provides 422hp to power the infinitely variable hydrostatic travel drives fitted to each frame with a bogie suspension system keeping more track on the ground even in the most demanding terrain. NZG have done a great job in accurately captured all the details of the PR764 in the model reviewed here.
The cab features an accurately modeled interior with angled seat, joystick controls and central console all visible. Small etched metal windscreen wipers have been added to the front, rear and door windows which is a nice addition and the cab frame has integrated front and rear facing work lights, complete with painted silver lenses along with an air conditioning unit integrated into the rear cab roof. The bonnet has an intricate grill pattern printed on the engine panels with caution markings and painted engine panel handles. A number of metal grab rails have been added on both sides of the model leading up to the cab doors, just like the full sized machine.
One of the really nice features found on the model is the accurate reproduction of the bogie running wheels which all pivot both within the arms as well as the arms actually pivoting. This is a very nice touch to fully demonstrate the suspension system fitted to the machine. The individually linked tracks have a single grouser on each pad along with visible bolt head detailing and the tracks are tensioned to keep them taut while allowing them to rotate smoothly. NZG have done a great job in capturing the functional aspects of the flagship PR764 with an excellent paint finish coupled with accurate placement of the Liebherr logos and markings. This is a must have model for any Liebherr enthusiast and looks great alongside the other Liebherr Dozer models.
