Mercedes Benz Actros 4160 SLT 8x4 Prime Mover
Presented here is the 1:50th scale Mercedes Benz Actros 4160 SLT 8x4 prime mover in Mammoet livery from WSI. This is a very highly detailed model as is expected from WSI who are producing some stunning heavy haulage replicas and is limited to only 1000 pieces.

The cab features four lights integrated into the roof with chromed air horns, amber beacons, sun visor, rear view mirrors and windscreen wiper all added for extra realism.
The wheels have intricate silver rims with accurately moulded road tread tyres and red painted wheel hubs which look great and the rear most wheel arches have integrated light clusters with plastic lenses and an authentic number plate.

The coiled service lines have been added to the rear of the frame with air tanks, fuel tank and cooling grill all present behind the tilting cab which reveals the modelled engine block at the heart of the chassis. |

The rear pintle towing hitch has been nicely modelled and the fifth wheel has a cast handle and patterned surface, allowing various WSI trailers to be coupled to the tractor. |
The chassis has some good suspension detail with transmission and drive train to the driven axles. The linked steering axles are functional but the range of movement is fairly limited. Replicated diamond plate texturing has been added to the top surfaces of the walkway which looks great and the front bumper panel has been accurately finished with red and white chevron pattern and has an integrated front towing linkage.
