The 1:50th scale Volvo
EC220D tracked excavator
from WSI Models, another
very impressive release.

VOLVO EC220D

Tracked Excavator

With Motorart producing a number of Volvo brand scale models over the years, it is interesting
to see Volvo switch supplier, with them now commissioning WSI Models to produce their scale
model program. One model of interest is the EC220D tracked excavator which was first
announced at the beginning of 2020 and has only recently been released.
The model is based on the African market specifications and fits neatly

between the two previous models from Motorart, the EC200D, also
for the APAC region and the European EC220E.
