New Holland MH5.6 Wheeled Excavator
Presented here is the newly launched New Holland MH5.6 wheeled excavator model in 1:50th scale from ROS. This is one of three new 1:50th scale models from ROS and the attention to detail is clearly visible. In the past, Ros were not known for high quality detailed models and more known for large scale agricultural models, more as toys for children than as collectibles.
The cab is highly detailed with all the operator controls and consoles visible through the clear windows. All working lights have been reproduced in the cab roof as on the real machine and windscreen wipers have been added to the front window. Flexible hydraulic hoses have been added to the two piece hydraulically adjustable main boom and stick. They have even added the auxillary hoses and pipework that are found on excavators fitted with hammers.

The undercarriage is configured as a standard digging machine with two stabilisers and dozer blade. The wheels are steerable and the blade can be raised / lowered while the stabilisers are adjustable. The upper structure casting is finely detailed with grills and light inlets accurately reproduced. The hydraulic block has been molded in plastic and looks realistic behind the boom. |
The finish of the model is of a high standard and markings are accurate and crisp. This model is another example of the capability Ros has in achieving a very good model at a very reasonable price range.
