NEW OLD MODELS FOUND

The tag says it all. It's all about older models which I have discovered only recently.

1:43 Police models by Keystone Models

1/22/2012

4 Comments

 
Keystone Models offers Code 3 models in 1:43 scale.
Most models that are made to order reflect British Police cars.

The modified Volvo Police cars are based on Minichamps and Hongwell models. It always depends on availability of the base model. It seems to be very hard these days to find a Volvo V70 from 2000 made by  Minichamps.The models are normally also converted to RHD ( right hand drive ).

The Code 3 Police Volvo models produced so far are:

I have recently found another company which offers at least one Volvo Police model in 1:43 scale.
The Volvo V70 T5 is a Code 3 model which reflects a Police service car from Essex ( Great Britain ).
It is offered under the following reference :

Volvo 760 by Revell

1/12/2012

0 Comments

 
Revell was selling back in 1987 and 1988 a kit for a Volvo 760.
Revell sold it under their product line 'Revell Junior' as easy to built snap kit.
The product number was # 6239.
The plastic kit consisted of 25 pieces, was 12.1 cm long and was available in blue.
You can find a copy of the assembly instructions here.
The kit was offered without any information about the scale. It is very close to 1:40.

The kit however was not produced by Revell but by the Czech company Igra.

UPDATED - Volvo XC90 by Mica World

1/8/2012

0 Comments

 
This diecast Volvo XC90 comes decorated for the Korean Air and is produced in China for the South Korean company Mica World.
These Volvo cars are decorated as airport patrol cars.
I wasn't able so far to find out if the car really exist in this livery.
A few of these models were offered on a well known auction site for 17.99 $ including shipping from Korea or Japan
The 1:34 scale model has :
  • opening front side doors
  • blue lights in the front radiator grill
  • working orange flashing light on roof
  • four different working sirens
  • license plates : VOLVO XC90
  • 'Korean Air' logo on the hood and front side doors
XC90 ruby red pearl Volvo colour code 454
XC90 silver metallic Volvo colour code 426
XC90 magic blue pearl Volvo colour code 467
XC90 willlow green pearl Volvo colour code 471
But I have no proof so far that these models really exist.
More versions are listed on the backside of the packaging :
A few questions still remain :
  • do these versions exist for real
  • who knows more about the brand Mica World    (not found so far on the www)

1/5/2012

0 Comments

 
I just found another 1:43 set by Norev including a Volvo 264 with a trailer and a car on it.The green Volvo 264 comes in a set with a VW Golf I on a grey plastic trailer. The set comes packed in a blister.
This green Volvo 264 is one of the very few made by Norev that doesn't have a black interior.

Two other sets including the Volvo 264 are already listed in the database :

- Volvo 264 & a red Ford Escort on a grey plastic car trailer
- Volvo 264 & a red Ford Escort on a blue plastic car trailer

Please let me know if someone is aware of other versions.
