The mobile transport vehicle and
extreme off-road implement carrier. The new 1/32 Scale
Unimog-Generation U4000
This review
could be called the truck that frank has always wanted.
I can remembering seeing my first one in early childhood. The wonderment still remains.
Welly did an
outstanding job in reproducing this rugged truck. The feel and heft
of this truck adds to the overall realistic aura of this diecast.
Welly did a
commendable job on the interior of this truck. The instrument
cluster is clear and well detailed. although, there would be a
steering wheel in this photo if I did not break it off by trying to
climb in. This too is richly detailed. The paint, fit and finish of
this diecast is of collectible quality. I have reviewed diecast
costing far more than this one, and they would have a hard tome
matching this trucks quality.
I love the
detail rich underside of this truck, their addition of a front and
rear PTO outputs on the transfer case. The trueness in reproducing
the tread pattern on the wheels. The mounting holes/braces for the
rear implements.
The dump box performed flawlessly in its
range of motion. The rear mud guards along with the fuel tank have
good placement. Their attachment to the frame is very well done and
realistic looking..
The only negative comment I have for
this truck is, Welly added a friction drive unit on the front axel.
WHY? WHY? WHY? Overall
this is not only an incredible looking diecast for your shelf, but one
fine conversation piece for your desk Or a way cool addition to your
diorama layout. This is a fine diecast.
This is a
must have for any Mercedes collector. Also, if you're into extreme off
road vehicles, this would make a handsome addition to your collection.
Or if your are like me, this is going in the center of my layout, just
to show it off. I would like to thank Welly for shipping this in
from Hong Kong for me to review. I do truly appreciate this
companies vision in producing a line of Unimog trucks for us to
enjoy.
With kind
regards,
