Volvo L350F Wheel Loader

Presented here is the 1:50th scale Volvo L350F wheel loader from MotorArt Collectable Models which is an update to the previously released L350F model. While most of the other wheel loaders have gone through the G and now the H series, the 350 has so far remained an F-series machine.

The updates are quite significant with a new engine housing with hinged side panels opening upwards to highlight the internal painted engine block.

Cabin access is now from the rear with steps integrated into the back of the wheel arches. As with the earlier version, all the safety railings and grab rails have been produced in metal.

There is good detailing of the hydraulic hoses and drivetrain between the articulation point and an authentic range of motion of the loader arms and bucket, the latter having some good surface detailing of the teeth and upper spill guard.

The rear of the model features the raised Volvo logo across the radiator grill and the machine's designation is printed on each side of the bonnet. Access steps and handrails have been added on both sides of the model giving easy access to the opening engine panels on both sides of the body revealing the fully detailed diesel engine block and exhaust components.

The cab has a fully detailed operator station complete with all the controls visible through the clear glazed windows. Windscreen wipers and rear view mirrors with reflective surfaces have been added to the exterior and a warning beacon is located on the roof.
