						|  Comment 
						on this model. 
 Hamm is part of the Wirtgen Group of companies.  
						The Hamm H 13i is a smooth drum vibratory compactor with 
						an operating weight of around 13 tonnes.
 
 This model is in the colours of 
						Eurovia, a contracting company within the VINCI Group.
 
 Packaging
 
 It comes in a Eurovia branded box in which the model is held 
						within two expanded polystyrene trays, and wrapped in soft 
						paper.
 
 There were no defects or missing parts on the review 
						model.
 
 There is no information about the real compactor and the model is complete out of the box with no assembly to 
						do.
 
 Detail
 
 Underneath, the detail is simple with the steering hydraulic 
						rams visible.  The metal rear wheels have nice rubber 
						treaded tyres.
 
 The body casting has see-through grilles at the rear together 
						with an exhaust pipe.  The rear light detailing is 
						good too, and the engine under the hood is very detailed 
						with various coloured components.
 
 The cab is excellent as it has a console with tiny legible 
						graphics and unusually the ceiling is modelled too.  
						A fire extinguisher adds to the authentic look.  Silvered 
						steps lead to the cab and there is a fuel filler pipe and 
						wheel chocks.  Lights and mirror supports are 
						plastic.
 
 Hydraulic lines run to the drum which also has scrapers 
						on both sides.  The drum has a smooth metal finish, 
						and the frame is well detailed and looks good.
 
 Features
 
 The rubber tyres roll nicely and the drum turns smoothly.
 
 The pivoted steering works well achieving an angle approaching 
						40º.
 
 The engine hood opens to a wide angle although on the review 
						model the hinge was not stiff enough to maintain an open 
						pose.
 
 Quality
 
 It is well up to NZG's usual quality standards with a sparing 
						use of plastic.
 
 The paintwork and 
						the Eurovia graphics are very sharp.
 
 Price
 
 It is good value for the quality offered.
 
 Overall
 
 This is a good quality Hamm roller model and it looks 
						good in Eurovia colours so it poses well with similarly 
						branded models.
 
 Footnotes
 
 The model in Hamm 
						colours first appeared for the BAUMA 2013 exhibition.  
						This version appeared in August 2014 in an exclusive run 
						of 300 models for the
						
						VINCI shop.
