I will publish of course a new post as soon as the Volvo Collection will be available in each country.
The number thirty-eight in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo Amazon Polis (S). The 4-door Volvo Amazon is decorated in the typical colors of the Swedish Police forces. The following photos do show a pre-production model ! Source & copyright : Editions Atlas SA, Switzerland Personal note : I have really not enough knowledge of Police cars and liveries. I just can't tell you if this scale model is correct in every tiny detail and if all the lights, sirens, mirrors as well as the Police lettering are in the right place. Any help is welcome.
The number thirty-seven in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo 264TE. The car represents a car of the model year 1978. It is painted dark blue and features a gray interior. Editions Atlas has really done a great job on this 1:43 scale model. The diecast model features all the many chromed parts which the real size counterpart has. Have a look into the interior and you will be able see the correct gear knob for the automatic transmission which was standard on this car. The spare seats behind the fronts seats are there as well. Even the door panels have been correctly reproduced. The car badges on the rear and on the front are all there. They are reproduced with very clear and crisp decals. The car I was able to photograph stands on the standard steel rims which are nicely detailed. Place this car next to the one offered recently by Matrix Scale Models and you won't be able to notice many differences. Well there is one exception : the retail price.
Norev will produce the Volvo Concept XC Coupé also as diecast version. This will be the second diecast model of Volvo’s new concept cars which Norev will offer in 2014. A precise release date has not yet been revealed. This new 1:43 scale model will be available in retail stores around the world. They will probably be available between 35 and 39 € whereas the resin ones do cost 127 € a piece. The first Volvo concept car made out of diecast has been announced last year by Norev. It was the Volvo Concept Coupé. See here. Nota : The following photos do show the real concept car as revealed earlier this year during the Detroit Motor Show.

Norev has published in their latest newsletters their new 1:43 scale models representing Volvo's face-lifted model range for the model-year 2014. Norev offers now new colors for six different car types. The colors differ from the ones Norev delivered last year exclusively to Volvo's merchandise department. One of the good news is that the retail price is way below the one Volvo is asking in their web-shop. The now available diecast models can be found at prices well below those asked by Volvo for their exclusive paint schemes. Most retailers offer the models for ± 30 € whereas those sold in Volvo's web-shop cost 39.70 €.

Source & copyright : Norev A friendly Volvo fan from Poland told me that DeAgostini will release a Volvo scale model in a partwork collection called 'Kultowe Auta PRL'. The name of the collection means 'cult cars of PRL' during the socialist years in Poland. This 1:43 scale diecast model is made by Ixo in China. The blue Volvo 343 will be model number 149 in that collection. It is announced to be available starting from the fourteenth of May, 2014. Slight delays are a common issue with all these partwork series. You will be able to get this model for 21.90 PLN ( ~5.50 € ) in news-stand and other shops offering magazines and newspapers in Poland. Source & copyright : kultoweauta.pl
The number thirty-six in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo 960 GLE. This 1:43 scale model reproduces a face-lifted model as it was introduced by Volvo in 1994 for the 1995 model year. The light taupe/beige/gold metallic ( code #411 ) painted car in combination with the cream leather interior created an elegant as well as discreet vehicle. The 960 was Volvo's most luxurious car in the 1990's. This diecast model features a closed glass sunroof and it is equipped with the standard 16'' Mercurius alloy rim.
