Volvo A25E Articulated Dumptruck
Presented here is the 1:50th scale Volvo A25E articulated dumper from Motorart. This is an update to the previously released A25D model. The cab interior has been fully modelled with drivers seat centrally located along with a detailed console and steering wheel. The rear window has mesh screen detailing with a windscreen wiper added to the front window.

The articulating frame has a good angle of movement with two hydraulic cylinders fitted to the steering linkage and the frame can oscillate by about 20 degrees to each side of centre.
Access steps are fitted to the rear of both wheel arches with accurately scaled plastic handrails which are grey on the E version, as are the other grab rails and rear view mirror frames. |
|
The E series model has an opening engine compartment and fold down front grill, just like the full sized machine. The engine bay is fitted with a fully replicated diesel engine and associated components including air filters, cooling system and exhaust piping. |
The rear chassis features nicely detailed inner wheel hubs and a replicated and pivoting suspension system along with drive shafts to the axles
|
The rear lights are painted onto the housing which is integrated into the dump bed. |
The large rubber tyres have an accurate moulded tread pattern with painted wheel hubs showing bolt fastening detail.

This is a good, all-be-it long awaited update to the original model with a crisp paint finish and accurate placement of the Volvo markings. The opening engine cover has a different grey paint mask on the top of the engine cover and the shade of the yellow paint is also a little lighter than the original model.
