Scale accuracy and audience

This First Gear diecast model replicates the Komatsu WA900-3 wheel loader at 1/50 scale. It is built for adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who value officially licensed construction-vehicle replicas. The model arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging. True-to-scale detail defines the exterior and the operator cab interior.

Static display characteristics

As a non-powered collectible, the model produces no heat, noise or power draw during normal use. It is intended for shelf or cabinet display rather than active play. The diecast construction with plastic parts provides a substantial feel without operational components. No batteries or external power are required.

Build integration and constraints

The model measures approximately 11.25 inches long, 3.75 inches wide and 4 inches high. It features an articulating chassis with steerability, an oscillating rear axle and real rubber tires. The loader arm adjusts and the bucket tilts for poseable display. No doors, panels or hatches open, so the detailed interior remains sealed. A stable flat surface is all that is needed for presentation.

Questions about this item

How is the articulating chassis secured during display and what step prevents stress on the joint?

Place the model on a flat surface with the chassis straight, then gently align the front and rear frames so the pivot pin seats without forcing the diecast housing.

What maintenance will the real rubber tires and oscillating rear axle need over time?

Dust the tires with a soft brush and apply a tiny drop of light oil to the axle pivot once a year to keep the oscillation smooth.

At what point does the adjustable loader arm start to sag under the bucket's weight during prolonged posing?

The arm holds its position indefinitely at any angle; the diecast construction and tight joint tolerances prevent sag even with the bucket tilted fully forward.
