Pictured are Motorart Volvos. Both models are die-cast with plastic parts. I really like the representation of these units. They are well detailed and I believe Motorart models are finer detailed than Norscot. The rivets are small and require painting. I added nothing other than some minor detail paint and weathering. Unfortunately like Norscot and Athrean, the tracks are rubber. I did add amber flashers on the front cab of the backhoe/loader. Motorart last year introduced only one new model in 1-87 scale (construction equipment), a military version JCB backhoe/loader. www.motorartmodels.com I emailed Motorart asking if they plan to release any new construction machines for 2010, as of this post I have not had a reply. As I hope Motorart will continue with construction machines in this scale, I am concerned that their unit retail cost of between $30.00 and $45.00 US is at my upper threshold of spending. I also have this same concern with Kibri. If Motorart would follow First Gear, specifically with regards to the rubber tracks I would feel more comfortable spending this amount on one vehicle.
