No1 : Poclain PB90 Wheeled Excavator

This is the new 1:50th scale Poclain PB90 wheeled excavator from Conrad. It is the first release in the Poclain Heritage Collection, and is a re-release of a model that was available 20 years ago.

This new version has different tyres and all markings are printed. The packaging is slightly different to the original as it states on the box that this is the first model in the "Poclain Heritage Collection".

I for one am glad that these models are being re-released as I never managed to add one to my collection when they were first released, and the price for the first version is rather high.

The model finish is good, as expected from Conrad, although the way the model is packed can cause paint chips to the boom and grab. The stabilisers can be raised/lowered and the grab is fully functional.
