I just bought a 1/50th scale Hitachi Zaxis210-5 model from a guy in Holland and the description said that his model was made by Replicars. 4 of them are also for sale on Ebay but I was wondering if this manufacturer made any other models, since they seem extremely well detailed and I can't find a website for them.

It's definitely an equivalent to CCM's diecast models line. Of course, you can expect to pay the price coming with it (160 to 200$ depending on where you got it), but the first time I saw the model, I needed to get it.

Antho,can You confirm that the model is in 1/50 scale?
I ask because the description in the Hitachi web shop says it is 1/40 scale. Think
A side by side shot with another model of the same weight class would be nice.

I've seen these around before and thought they were 1/43rd? Great looking model though! Nice purchase!

Jan and Rowan, here's my only proof. I only bought it yesterday, I will probably get it in 3 weeks.



And Jan, if you click the link posted by DeereMan, HCMEshop says it's 1:50 too.

This model was also done in limited edition with ZH200HYBRID+ markings for the Japanese market.

I think it looks like a fantastic model including the opening cab door.

It is indeed a fantastic model!





A part of the hood opens, the other can be removed.






It easily keeps up with CCM and WSI's quality. If I had to choose, the 870 would come in first, the 210 would be second and the 385 third between these 3 models, considering the 385's errors.

Cool.

You better do that with a 200D Deere, I wouldn't take the risk to ruin a $150 model.

Can you confirm that the bucket is attached by philips-head screws as on the ZX225USRK-3? If so, the demo attachments for the 225 should also fit this model and that's great!
