Hitachi ZX330-7 Tracked Excavator

Replicars have a good track record of producing highly detailed models, like this 1:50^th scale Hitachi ZX330-7 tracked excavator which is modelled to Japanese specification, with the Hitachi name only printed on one side of the boom. The rear engine housing has an opening upper panel to allow the internals of the engine bay to be seen, consisting of the engine block, exhaust and cooling systems. The cabin has a 90-degree opening door allowing the convincingly replicated interior to be viewed, complete with all the operator hand and foot controls leaving nothing to the imagination. Raised hydraulic lines on the boom add to the realism, as do the armoured hoses, silver-finished valves and safety markings with plastic safety railings and a pair of self-fit mirrors rounding out the model nicely.
