“It’s Alive..!”

One of the first Sword models we ever reviewed had an Elliott fuel/lube body on it, and it’s still a hell of a show. This time, it’s parked on a Mack Granite chassis, and the combination comes across as a rolling lab for mad scientists, with tanks, rails, opening doors, mounted machinery, and legible markings everywhere.

Neat Pete

Sword’s Peterbilt 357 wears a mega-yard East Genesis dump body in this release, and the bright yellow Pete is slammed with visible detail even before you open the little bags of hardware, mirrors, and add-on parts it comes with. The photoetched grille, outstanding tamped-on and applied graphics and markings, and a beautiful metallized finish on the dump body make the model a head turner from moment one.

Rollin’ Low

Rogers “lowboy” trailers are built for big, roll-on loads, like bulldozers, graders, mobile cranes, or any combination of the above. They’re engineered to be wheeled to a job site, where they shed their “gooseneck” - the angular beam that hitches to the tractor at one and, and the trailer at the other - all the better to allow easy off-and-on handling of the machines they carry.
