New    1:50th Scale Komatsu D375A Dozer

This is the new Komatsu D375A Bulldozer in 1:50th scale from First Gear. The model is an excellent replica
with many nicely detailed features. The tracks feature individual linked tracks and working suspension.
The blade is fully functional with all the hydraulic hose details of the real machine.

The rear of the model features a hydraulic ripper unit with removable ripper shanks which can be fitted in
different combinations. The cab is fully detailed inside and out.

This is the second in the series of 1:50th scale Komatsu models from First Gear.
This is the limited edition "Minexpo 2004" version of which only 120 have been made

There is only one thing that lets this model down. The hydraulics are very loose and the blade cannot be positioned. It is either fully raised, or down. The same is true of the rear ripper unit. The level of detail on the model is exceptional and yet the lack of grip on the hydraulics spoils the model somewhat.
