The Hamm DL10 was a road roller
manufactured in the 1950's. This model celebrates
this iconic-looking road roller.
Packaging
The box style is that of an aged box, and the model is
held within polystyrene trays. There were no missing parts on the two review models
although the orange version had the cutters at the rear
set too low so that the model would not roll properly.
Unfortunately for a historic model there is no information about the real machine.
The model is complete with no assembly required.
Detail
The detail underneath comprises an exhaust system and
pipe. The rollers are metal and have plates and
bolts detailed on the flanges. Similar detailing
is present on the body and there is a good Hamm
nameplate on the front, and towing shackle on the front
drum support.
Additional detailing is provided with the use of plastic including
lights, spray bars for the front and rear rollers, and
the scrapers and cutters on the rear drums. A
steering wheel and control lever is provided in the cab
but there is no seat which reflects the basic nature of
the real machine.
The roof is metal with profiling on the underside.
Features
The drums roll reasonably well.
The front drum steers to a reasonable angle and also
oscillates from side to side.
Quality
This is a good quality model by NZG with a pleasant
finish.
Price
It is reasonable value.
Overall
As a model of a historic machine, the DL10
looks good enough and it makes a nice display piece.
It is recommended.
Footnotes
The model first appeared in the NZG catalogue for 2007.
In addition to green and orange, a yellow version was
released in 2010.
