Unusual Hitachi Model
Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2016 8:37 pm
I came across this very unusual model kit today and could not resist it Has anybody heard of this Hitachi ASTACO NEO before?
The kit is made by the Japanese company of Hasegawa and is top quality with rubber tracks and hoses plus a vast array of stickers, it also comes moulded in Hitachi colours the only none colour moulded parts that I could find were the chrome piston rods that will require painting silver.
This kit is of what the box describes as a heavy duty remote controlled disaster response robot the prototype was completed in 2005. Apparently the two arms can be used simultaneously that'd give the HSE something to worry about!
A great kit anyway.
