Rolling In Soon: NZG Hamm H 13i Roller Compactor

Hamm's H-series compactors offer maximum compaction, off-road mobility, advanced technology, and a comfortable operators cab.  When it comes to earth-moving applications, the Hamm 13i has an operating weight of around 13 tons.

NZG has done a great job at replicating the Hamm H 13i Roller Compactor in 1/50 scale.  It is expected to arrive this August/September.

NZG - Item #868

The first model of the Hamm H 13i Roller Compactor was viewed at the Bauma 2013 Exhibition.  It is made mostly of diecast metal with only a few plastic parts.

It has some great features including the hood, which opens to show off the detailed engine.  However, when the hood is down, the engine can also be viewed through the grill.

The detailed interior of the cab can be viewed easily through the clear windows.  Even the ceiling of the cab is nicely modeled.  They even added a fire extinguisher for an additional touch.

The model has articulated steering with realistic wheels along with authentic tire tread.  The drum has scrapers on both sides.  It also has a metal finish that allows it to roll smoothly.

Cranes Etc has done a product review of the Hamm H 13i Roller Compactor... Enjoy the review below:

The back of the roller has diamond plate on either side and the Hamm and Diijsktra logos. Underneath you will find that the drive shafts are well detailed, diecast metal.

Delicious Models

I'm very excited to tell you all about the three new models that we've just received from NZG, a German company that is known for its dedication to quality and detail.

In a way, these models remind me of my grandmother on my mom's side who is a first-generation German immigrant. In fact, we call her "Oma," which is German for "Grandma." Growing up, I could always count on Oma to have delicious baked goods for me to snack on and sitting down to a traditional German feast. She was indeed dedicated to baking me mouth-watering cakes and feeding me the very best German cuisine. I always walked away from Oma's house full and happy and satisfied.

I am confident that you will walk away from these new models full and happy and satisfied.
