This week we're looking at the Freightliner 114SD with McNeilus Bridgemaster Mixer
It's manufactured by First Gear in 1/34 scale.
This model is made primarily of diecast metal with only a few plastic parts (like the rear ladder and chute). 
The interior of the cab is very detailed, including the dash, door handles, and seats.
The hood opens forward to show off some really nice, authentic engine detail.
Notice the details of the tanks and hoses at the base of the mixer drum.

While we're here... the mixer drum freely rotates.

On the back, the features include flip-down tag wheels, a poseable chute, additional chute extensions, and a side ladder that folds down.
