What do you get when you have a Volvo FH16, a Lowboy,
and a Volvo EC220 D Excavator?

Answer: One Great Model COMBO with great versatility!

Motorart has done an exceptional job at grouping these three model pieces
 together to make one remarkable showcase!
Each of these pieces is replicated
 in 1/50 scale.  They are all constructed
of diecast metal with only a limited
amount of plastic parts.

Posed together, item #300037 measures
16 1/2 inches long,  2 3/8 inches wide,
and 4 inches tall.

One of the great things about this grouping is that they can be posed together or separate. It all depends
 on what kind of look you are
trying to accomplish.

If you were wanting to pose the cab by itself, you could show off its nicely detailed interior, authentic graphics, mirrors, wipers, sunshade, and headlights. 

Looking closely, you can see that the front wheels have a different hub detailing
than the back wheels.

It also has a steerable front axle along with realistic tread on the tires. 

The back wheels are protected with realistic wheel covers and Volvo mud flaps.

Let's not forget the tilting fifth wheel where we can attach the lowboy.

The lowboy has three axles along with a lot of nice detailing in the casting. 
For yet another great pose, you can put the Volvo FH16 together with the lowboy.

But what are we going to haul?

Let's haul a Volvo EC220 D Excavator!

This excavator has some great features including a fully functioning boom,
 arm, and bucket with working
cylinders and rams.

The excavator has clear windows to easily view the detailed operator's compartment which includes a nicely modeled operator's seat, levers, and joystick. 

The tracks move smoothly and are
held tightly in place by a spring-loaded tensioner.

It also has authentic Volvo graphics, detailed hydraulic lines, nonslip-tread on the platforms & steps, and nicely
modeled mirrors & handrails.

What a great showcase these three model pieces make together - or even individually!
See you again next week when we explore the features of another exciting model.
