Volvo models by GM-Art

1/8/2013

Th Russian company GM-Art has produced between 2004 and 2006 several Volvo scale models. These modified 1:43 scale cars were all built by using the following Minchamps models : Volvo 244, 854, S40, S80, S60 et S60R.

The main part of GM-Art's product line are however cars by Mercedes and even more 4x4 models of that company.

The following two Volvo models were offered on GM-Art's website :

Volvo S80
This Volvo is ( was ? ) used in Moscow as a VIP Taxi. The taxi company has also BMW series 7 and Audi A8 cars with similar extreme skirts and fenders on their roster.

Volvo S40

Only 7 units of each have been produced and their price tag was 200 € each. All are sold out.

The owner of GM-Art has also built the following Volvo models. As far as I was able to find out, they are one-offs for his personal collection.

Volvo 240 GL Police Omsk ( RUS )
This one was created back in 2007.

Here are another six Russian Police models. I do not have more infos about these scale models.

The Japanese company Shunko Models has released in 2011 two decal sets for the BTCC Volvo 855 and 854. These are replacements for the decals provided with the 1:24 scale Tamiya kits. Many of the genuine sets have yellowed over the years. Those of you who still have an unbuilt kit on their shelves have now the possibility to finish the models with these high quality silkscreen printed decal sets.
