New Holland W300C Wheel Loader
Presented here is the 1:50th scale New Holland W300C wheel loader from Motorart. The model has some very nice features including different thickness metal safety railings and grab rails. The steps leading to the cabin on both sides of the chassis have a fine anti-slip surface texture with a textured upper platform.
The range of movement of the loader arms and tipping angle of the bucket are fairly authentic with flexible plastic hydraulic hose lines and painted rivets adding to the realism. The cylinders are fairly stiff, allowing the loader arms to remain in the chosen position.

The body has painted grills on both sides with a dark grey rear panel and rear facing light housings with painted lenses. Steps for easy access to the engine bay during servicing have been integrated into the chassis with large wheel arches fitted above the rear wheels

The rear engine housing is hinged, lifting up to reveal a modelled engine block and cooling module decorated in a silver colour which highlights the surface casting detailing. |
The cabin interior has been modelled with a central column with steering wheel and driver's seating visible within, while the cabin frame has integrated metal rails with rear view mirrors.
The tyres have a very crisply moulded tread pattern with dual coloured wheel hubs and simple but effective structural detailing on the axles and underside of the chassis. The articulating frame has a fairly good range of steering movement, powered by a pair of hydraulic cylinders.
The paint finish has been evenly applied to a high standard with authentic placement of the New Holland name and machine designation. This is a very good release from Motorart with plastic only used sparingly where needed, resulting in a heavy and sturdy replica.
