The new styling of the generation 6 machines is a stunning change from the older design with curved body and shaped cooling grills set off by the interesting print work on the sides.

Grab rails and steps have been added to the main frame allowing access to the top of the engine compartment. Even the anti slip surface has been simulated which is another great touch.

The cab interior has been accurately reproduced with controls and drivers seat all visible through the large windows.

The new design cab gives a greater view for the operator and has accurately scaled grab rails and rear view mirrors fitted to the frame. Even the rubber window seals have been simulated using black printing.

The undercarriage frame has highly detailed drive wheels with integrated access steps cast into the frames.

The individually linked track pads have grouser and bolt detailing on each pad and link together using tension.

The paint finish is exceptional with accurate placement of the Liebherr markings, machine designation on the body sides and boom and authentic Arbogast logos. The addition of flexible hydraulic piping to the boom, stick and bucket cylinders is another nice touch and adds to the level of realism on the model.
