Yanmar B110W Wheeled Excavator
Presented here is the 1:50th scale Yanmar B110W wheeled excavator which has been produced by NZG. It is a stunning replica with plenty of fine detailing and realism packed into a fairly small footprint, based on the tooling of the former Terex TW110 model
The cabin has a replicated interior, complete with a central column topped with a steering wheel while the joystick controls are integrated into the armrests. The window seals are printed and the door and engine panel handles have been highlighted with tiny safety and warning labels added for extra realism.

The main body casting has accurately captured the contours of the full sized machine with inset grill indentations and a dark grey counterweight, finished with circular lights with both printed and red plastic inserts for the lenses. The silver exhaust pipe and rear safety mirror have also been added with printing used well for the grill slots and upper panels. |

The undercarriage features a steering axle with two independently adjustable stabilisers with pivoting pads which are fairly stiff, allowing the model to be raised off its wheels. One axle is fixed and one has working steering with each yellow finished wheel hub holding dual style rubber tyres with a crisp moulded tread pattern. |

The TPA boom fitted to the model is of a two-part design using hydraulics to adjust the angle, allowing it to work in confined spaces. The added hydraulic hoses are a good addition to the model with authentic movement of the digging equipment, from the pivoting king post through to the bucket linkage.
Auxiliary piping has been presented on the model with lines engraved onto the sides of the stick and boom and the toothed bucket can be detached from the coupler which is a nice feature although there are no further tools included in the box.
