KOMATSU DEMAG H255S Hydraulic Shovel
Manufacturer: NZG
Scale: 1:50
This is one big mama... As you can see here this monster just
towers over that man below that cant even see over the tracks
Although its hard to see in this photo due to the dark window tint
the inside of the cab includes a center operators seat which
is surrounded by controls and foot pedals below
The tracks are made of thick rubber and crawl very easily
Besides this beasts height its whole back end is occupied
with that huge counter weight
From above looking down you can see all the upper details which
include twin exhaust pipes with mufflers, big access panel box,
and its all completely surrounded by railing detail
Here's a pic of teh opposite side which shows the big radiator
and heat vents as well as the nice DEMAG markings painted
To access the cab the operator is given a pull down ladder
at the lowest point of the walkway (shown here pulled up)
Heres a shot of the retractable ladder pulled down
All the deatails on this model are just simply fasanating, look here
at the walkway steps and railings they're amazing and the paint
job is so crisp and shinning
Here's a close up of the thick 5 toothed front shovel
Boom is lined with many large hydraulics as well as the proper
hydraulic lining, and the front shovel opens for quick dumping
Like a dinosour reaching into the sky this beast stands tall
with a wide open toothed mouth
Just looking at this picture should say it all... This is an awesome
model all around the deatails are great and like most NZG models
there arn't flaws like big unpainted rivits or unporportioned railings.
This model is becoming extremely hard to find, especially this DEMAG
version, but is a must have for any serious mining model collector!
Here's a photo of the big monster loading up that CAT 793C
hual truck with no effort at all
