The Volvo DD105 is an asphalt roller and as the name
suggests it weighs 10.5 tonnes.
Packaging
The model comes in a nice Volvo branded box which
has a few specification details about the real machine.
It is packed between
polystyrene trays.
There were no defects or missing
parts on the review model.
There is no assembly to do as the model is
complete out of the box.
Detail
The rollers are metal with a smooth finish and there is
some detail on the underside of the model. The
steering rams are not modelled.
The ends of the drums are modelled in detail, and there
is an edge cutter on one drum. The assemblies
which hold the drums have sharp graphics and highlighted
details.
The pivot point is modelled in simple fashion with no
hydraulics crossing. There are warning signs and
painted steps lead up to the cab.
At the front there are two large water tank filler caps
which are blue, and there are lights modelled front and
rear.
The cab has windscreen wipers and mirrors, and work
lights. Two beacon lights are mounted on the roof.
The doors are modelled very well including graphics. Inside, the controls
and seat are modelled to a reasonable standard and there
is a textured floor.
Features
The drums roll smoothly.
Steering at the pivot point achieves a good angle.
Quality
This is a nice quality model.
Price
The model is fair value.
Overall
This is another nice model for Volvo, and it is also
robust as well as being detailed.

This model was first shown at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in
