Hamm is part of the Wirtgen
Group of companies.
The Hamm
HD+ 120i V-VIO Tandem Roller is a rear-wheel-steered
tandem roller with vibratory and oscillating drums. It
has an operating weight of almost 13 tonnes.
Packaging
It comes in a small Hamm branded box
in which
the model is held within
two expanded polystyrene trays, and wrapped in soft
paper.
There is no information about the real machine. A
spare set of mirrors is included.
There
is no assembly to
do.
Detail
Underneath, the detail is fairly simple, and
surprisingly there is no NZG logo. The roller drums are
metal and have nice smooth surfaces. Each has two
scrapers, and with nicely highlighted bolt heads detailed on the
support frames.
The body casting has textured steps leading to the cab.
The cab is excellent as inside the driver's console has
tiny legible graphics.
Outside, the cab has a delicate metal frame and a
two-tone roof with beacon light. There are thin
windscreen wipers front and rear.
The nose at each end is a nice casting with filler cabs
modelled for the water tanks. The front mirrors are
plastic and the Wirtgen and Hamm graphics are sharp.
Features
The drums roll well and the rear drum steers
and achieves a good angle. The rear drum can also
be offset to one side.
The plastic cab doors open widely, and inside the cab
the operator's seat can be rotated and moved side to
side.
Quality
This is a nice quality model with a high metal content.
The paintwork and graphics
are very good.
Price
It is moderate value.
Overall
This model is NZG quality with very plastic. It
has very nice detailing and functionality and would pose
well in a roadworks diorama.
Footnotes
The model first appeared
at the end of 2024.
