1/50 Scale Diecast Backhoe Loader

This 1/50 scale diecast model replicates the Komatsu WB97S-8 backhoe loader in yellow. It features a detailed exterior and interior, real rubber tyres and steerable wheels. The front bucket raises and lowers while the boom, stick and bucket are movable. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

Officially Licensed Collector Model

Suited for adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who value true-to-scale accuracy and official licensing. The model is made of diecast with some plastic parts and has no opening panels. Buyers who want interactive features such as opening doors or a fully articulated cab should look elsewhere.

Display Dimensions and Moving Parts

The model measures approximately 6.25 inches long, 1.75 inches wide and 3 inches high, fitting standard display shelves. Movable boom, stick and bucket components allow poseable positioning for dioramas. The fixed cab and lack of openings limit internal detailing access.

Questions about this item

What surface or display space do I need for the 1/50 scale model that measures 6.25 inches long and 1.75 inches wide?

A flat shelf or display case at least 6.25 inches deep and 1.75 inches wide will hold the model securely.

Can the movable boom, stick and bucket operate smoothly alongside older diecast construction models in a mixed display?

Yes, the articulated boom, stick and bucket move independently, so you can pose it realistically next to other models without interference.

How can I verify the front bucket raises and lowers and the wheels steer correctly after unboxing?

Gently lift the front bucket and turn the wheels; both should move freely with no resistance, confirming the mechanisms work as designed.
