1:50th Scale Liebherr R916 Advance Tracked Excavator

Presented here is the limited edition 1:50th scale Liebherr R916 Advance tracked excavator from NZG in the Nagel special "Carbon" decoration which was featured on the full sized machine at Bauma.

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 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 and these have been painted in silver which is a good contrast to the carbon black bodywork.

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 this part of the model is painted in the standard Liebherr grey colour, as is the digging bucket.

The paint finish is exceptional throughtout and the intricate pattern embedded into the finish looks fantastic. The model is limited to 500 pieces and it very highly priced considering the cost of other versions of the R916 in company decorations. That being said, the finish is rather unusual and different and anyone wanting to add one of these to their collection can order direct from the Nagel online shop.
