The
Hamm HD138 Articulated Tandem Roller is a machine made
for the Chinese market.
Accordingly it is modelled in 1:35 scale to reflect the
usual scale for Chinese models of construction machines.
Packaging
The model comes in an Hamm branded box. Inside the box,
the model is contained within expanded polystyrene
trays.
The review model had no missing parts or defects.
Some information about the real machine is printed on
the box.
Detail
The rollers are metal with a slight ridged finish and
there are plastic scrapers on each drum.
Hydraulic lines are modelled on the drum supports and
there are high quality casting details and graphics.
There are lights at each end. The water tanks for the
roller drums are plastic and have a good matt finish and
include realistic filler caps.
Hydraulic lines cross above the pivot point.
Under the cab there are doors to the engine area on both
sides and these are detailed with perforated steps which
are plastic.
The cab has some very good detailing with a beacon light
and mirrors. Inside, the control console and seat
look good.
Features
The drums are very free rolling.
Steering across the pivot point achieves a good
angle.
Both cab doors open to approximately a right angle to
the cab.
The engine covers on both sides open to reveal engine
details. They are held in the closed position by
tiny magnets.
The operator's seat and console can be rotated.
Quality
This model is well made. It has a
high metal content with plastic used appropriately.
The paintwork and graphics are excellent.
Price
It is understood to be good value at a typical
Chinese selling price.
Overall
This is an excellent Hamm roller model and
Sunraise has produced a fine combination of detail,
features and quality.
