Liebherr R916 Advance Tracked Excavator
Presented here is the limited edition 1:50th scale Liebherr R916 Advance tracked excavator from NZG in the Gorissen B.V. company decoration. The Gorissen group of companies are a family business formed in the 70's and concentrating on transport and earthmoving works for government, contractor and construction consortiums. Further details of the Gorissen B.V Gronsveld company can be found on their website.
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 and the black stripe running around the entire body carries the white printed Gorissen B.V. Gronsveld company details.

The new styling of the generation 6 Liebherr machines is a stunning change from the older design with curved body and shaped cooling grills set off by the interesting contours and grills on the side. 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 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 throughtout with the black stripe contrasting well with the yellow main colours and white cabin. This is another great release from NZG with only 300 pieces produced, packed in a two piece polystyrene carton with printed outer box.
