1:50th Scale Terex TG190A Grader
This is the new Terex TG190A grader from NZG in 1:50th scale. The model is one of the first releases in a new range of models from NZG which is to include samples taken from the complete Terex Product range.
The front of the model has a working blade which can be lowered into position. The front wheel steering and articulation is functional with a good degree of movement on the steering angle but not much movement on the articulation. Front mounted work and indicator lights are fitted which have silver and orange painted lenses respectively along with front wheel guards which actually turn with the wheels.

The rear wheels have an oscilating suspension system with authentically reproduced rubber tyres with tread pattern and hub detailing. The exhaust stack is present on the rear side of the engine compartment with a six shank ripper fitted to the rear chassis which can be lowered as required. The body casting is well defined with Terex markings on the sides and rear. The cab interior has been reproduced with operator controls and seat all visible through the slightly tinted windows. Access steps are present on both sides of the cab with grab rails, rear view mirrors, front windscreen wiper and roof mounted work lights all giving the model an authentic look. |

The moldboard features a fully rotating blade which can be both extended left and right and tilted with the main lift hydraulics stiff enough to hold the blade at the chosed height. The cylinders have authentic silver painted pipework and check valves with flexible hydraulic pipes glued into place which dissapear into the main frame which adds greatly to the realism of the model. |
The paint finish is very good on the model with crisp Terex markings on the body. The model is supplied in a two piece polystyrene carton with outer printed cardboard box and carries the NZG part number 703.
