The Hamm HD 12i VO is a tandem roller with vibrating
and oscillating drums. The real machine has a drum width of 1200mm and
weighs around 2.8 tonnes.
This machine uses diesel 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 and Wirtgen graphics. There are painted lights.
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.
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.
Footnotes
The model was released at the end of 2024.
An electric version, the 12e VV, was also produced as
model #1087.
