Volvo L60H Wheel Loader

Presented here is the 1:50th scale Volvo L60H wheel loader from Motorart. It is an update to the L60 line, replacing the previously released L60G and improves on some of the engineering issues found on the "G-Series" model, particularly with the hydraulic rams which are now back to metal and have a fair resistance to them.

The rear engine compartment is hinged and can be lifted up to reveal a plastic replica of the engine block, radiator housing and cooling fan with green once again used to highlight the Volvo engine block and silver for the exhaust components. The side grills are particularly well done with a fine mesh pattern.

The tyres have a solidly moulded tread pattern with plastic wheel hubs highlighting the ring of fixing bolts and the articulating chassis frame has a reasonably range of movement. The rear counterweight does have integrated lights with red lenses and a silver finished towing pin which is glued in place.

The cabin has been modelled with a replicated interior which looks fine, highlighting the driver's seat and steering wheel while the outside of the cab is also nicely done with grab rails, rear view mirrors and both front and rear wipers added. Black printing has been applied to the glazing and an amber beacon is placed on the roof.
