This is Spec-Cast's Schield Bantam Crane on a White WC22 Truck, the official 2010 construction model for the National Toy Truck 'N Construction Show.

This model was carefully constructed in 1/50 scale from die-cast metal, with few plastic parts.

The WC22 truck is a half cab.

The door of the truck opens to reveal the details inside, including chrome accents.

The hood of the truck opens up side-curtain style to reveal the detailed engine inside.

The operator's cab of the crane features detailed controls inside, behind the clear "windows."  The cab also features the "Bantam" logo on both sides.

Notice how the crane rotates a full 360 degrees on the rear of the truck.

The crane's boom is fully operational and extends to nearly double the original length.

The clamshell at the end of the boom is also fully operational by use of the pulleys and cables.
The tandem rear wheels are fitted with rubber tires and are free-rolling.  The rear of the crane again features the "Bantam" logo.
