New Holland C238 Tracked Loader
Presented here is the 1:50th scale New Holland C238 tracked loader from Motorart. Despite its small dimensions, the model is actually very well detailed with some nice touches from Motorart.
The range of movement of the loader arms is impressive although the tipping movement of the bucket is a little reduced. All the cylinders are fairly stiff so the model has no problems remaining in the chosen position.
The track frames feature a single casting which incorporates the lower rollers while the idler wheels and elevated drive sprocket rotate, so it is possible to rotate the single piece rubber tracks which have a reasonable surface pad texture and inner tooth detailing.
The rear engine panel has a fine dimpled surface texture which again looks very authentic, topped with a silver decorated logo and semi-transparent plastic light lenses along with the New Holland name printed across the top of the engine housing.
The graphics printed on the sides of the loader arms are very nicely done with crisply defined text and accurate colours. Some of the rivets used to assemble the arms have been painted over but the main rivets connecting the bucket have been left silver which is a shame
The paint finish is of a very high standard with an even coat allowing the surface casting details to be seen. The C238 is joined by the slightly smaller L218 wheeled skid steer and together, they make a great addition to the growing New Holland model fleet.
