1:50th Scale Volvo EW160B Wheeled Excavator

 

This is the Volvo EW160B model from NZG. This is an update of their previous EW160 model with a
new body and cab.

 

The undercarriage is the same as the previous version, although the inner part of the wheels is now yellow.
The original model was made in Germany but this new version is made in China and comes in
different packaging to the original.

 

One more difference is the use of pins to rivit the parts together. I would have preferred the original method
with the hollow rivets as the heads are a little large and are unpainted. (At least they are not silver like the
Norscot models)
