Volvo L180H Wheel LoaderPresented here is the 1:50th scale Volvo L180H wheel loader which has been produced in China by Motorart. Once again, Motorart have done a great job in capturing the rugged appearance of the latest generation styling with much more realism found throughout the model. The cabin has a fully modelled interior finished in a black colour scheme with contoured glazing, printed window seals and metal grab rails fitted to the frame. Rear view mirrors are located on both sides of the cabin with the right side mirror extending out on a metal frame while a large wiper blade is fitted centrally to the front windscreen. The model highlights the ability to tilt the cabin sideways for servicing needs and is complete with a hydraulic actuator, tilting over 80 degrees. Interestingly, this uncovers the steering ram rods which are incomplete, with the cylinders omitted and this looks a little strange and more of a compromise with the engineering of the model.
The loader bucket has very accurately modelled teeth in an angled pattern on the lower cutting edge with an open spill guard integrated into the upper edge of the bucket. The Volvo name is embossed into the side of the bucket which is a nice added touch and the linkage offers a really good range of tipping movement with all pin heads painted over for a better appearance. The paint finish is to a very high standard with good colour separation between yellow and grey areas while the printing of the Volvo logos and machine designation is crisply applied. The L180H is a most welcome addition to the Volvo wheel loader fleet and surpasses the previously released L220G and L250G in terms of attention to detail. |
