Features include being ready-to-run, made of injection-molded plastic, with fine-scale details, separate brake details, a chemically etched brake platform, accurate painting and printing, a prototypical ride height, 70-Ton ASF Ride Control Trucks, 33' metal wheels, and a body-mounted scale coupler.
