1:50th Scale Liebherr R916 Advance Tracked Excavator
"Nienburger Baustoff Gesellschaft"
Presented here is the limited edition 1:50th scale Liebherr R916 Advance tracked excavator from NZG in the company colours of NBG. The model is limited to only 300 pieces worldwide.
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 cab interior has been accurately reproduced with controls and drivers seat all visible through the large windows.

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 print work on the sides. 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 with the constrasting yellow and reddy-brown colour scheme really standing out , complete with crisp printing of the NBG logos and contact details on the body sides and boom. The addition of flexible hydraulic piping to the boom, stick and bucket cylinders is another nice touch and adds to the level of realism on the model. |
This is another great release from NZG and is a welcome addition to the expanding range of NBG models, joining the A314 wheeled excavator and HTM904 concrete mixer. The model is packed in a two piece polystyrene carton with outer printed box.
