the cab is very detailed, especially the dash, seat and
steering column. The side of the cab and front grill features the Komatsu logo. It can also be found on the side of the dump bed with the model number. |
| For safety and
easy access, the steps have diecast handrails and no slip tread. The back of the cab features a protective screen to protect the driver from falling rocks or debris. It also models realistic hydraulic hoses mounted with working springs. |

The dump bed's stiff hydraulic cylinders provide a full range of motion to pose this model at any angle. |

wheels roll freely and have rubber tires with realistic tread and well
detailed hubs. The rear wheels are complete with individual working suspension. |

The undercarriage is also well detailed and quite realistic. . |
