Check out this fantastic new model from NZG!

The  Wirtgen WR 240 Cold Recycler, item number 871, is excellently cast in 1/50 scale.

It features diecast construction with very few plastic parts.

One of the first things I noticed about it was the large wheels. They are made of a bouncy, rubber-like plastic with realistic tread and nice hubs. It even has four wheel steering!
This entire model is so well made. The outside walkways and platforms have nice no slip tread and well scaled handrails and steps. The grills and covers feature mesh looking casting.

The cab moves left and right just like the real machine would. It is sturdy enough and well balanced, so you can easily pose it fully extended. The interior of the cab is incredibly detailed, just see for yourself!

 
The operators seat and control panels are are very authentic. I am a little jealous of that coushy looking seat!

Speaking of the seat, there is a knob under the cab that allows you to spin the seat a full 360 degrees! No sore neck for the driver of this nifty vehicle.

On top, the engine cover opens to reveal the excellent engine and engine compartment. As you can see, the engine has multiple colors just like a real engine would. 

Now for the main attraction!
When you turn the model over, you find the milling head. It is made with individual picks with red tips. The milling head spins smoothly and easily, and the discharge flaps on either side can be adjusted to meet your spewing needs.

But how will you chew up pavement if the head is safely tucked away? Never fear, the head can be easily raised and lowered as needed!

Here you can see the hydraulics for the milling head, as well as the rubber-like hydraulic hoses going to the wheel supports and the warning light on the back.

NZG didn't miss a thing, this model looks incredible, and was so much fun to look at.

I had a blast looking at this model. I probably could have spent hours playing with it!

I really think you and your customers will love it too.
