The Hamm HD 12e VV is a tandem roller with vibrating drums.  The real machine has a drum width of 1200mm and weighs around 2.8 tonnes.

This machine uses electric power.

Packaging

The model is contained within two polystyrene trays enclosed in a small branded box. 

The review model had no defects or missing parts.

There is no assembly required. The box sleeve has some pictures of the real machine.

Detail

Underneath there is simple detail and surprisingly there is no NZG logo.  The drums are metal and smooth and there are two scrapers on each drum.

At the front the grille is modelled well and there are tiny Hamm, Wirtgen and E power graphics.  There are painted lights and a plastic bumper bar. 

The drum supports have highlighted bolt heads.

The operator's area has a diamond plate surfacing, and the main controls are represented in plastic. 

The lifting bar is plastic and the roll-over bar is metal and includes a beacon light.

At the rear there are painted lights and a plastic bumper bar.

Features

The rollers turn well and the model rolls reasonably well when pushed.

The roller has moderate steering by rotation at the pivot point in the centre. 

Quality

This is a small well-made model with a high metal content and is relatively heavy for the small size. 

The paint and graphics are very good.

Price

It is fair value.

Overall

This is a very nice small model made to NZG's usual quality standard.

The model was released at the end of 2024.
