NEW OLD MODELS FOUND |
The tag says it all. It's all about older models which I have discovered only recently. |
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 : "BT06" 1:43 Essex Police Volvo V70 T5 Quote from the website : Welcome to Essex 999 Models. Essex 999 Models are makers of authentic "Code 3" Models of UK Emergency Service Vehicles. Our models are based on real "In-Service" vehicles, and are highly detailed and accurate replicas of the real vehicles. We specialise in 1:43 Scale Police Vehicle models of various UK Police Forces. Our models will be produced as Limited Editions of 10, 25, or 50 and will each have a numbered conversion Certificate. I tried to contact the person behind the models but I still haven't received an answer. I will add an update as soon as I will be able to get more infos.

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.

_This Volvo PV544 is made of white metal and was sold by the company Modelauto Replica. It is the first time that I was able to get a pair of good pictures of this model. It seems that the model is a copy of the model by Tekno. _Photos used with permission.
This Volvo P1800 is made of white metal and was sold by the company Modelauto Replica under item number 101. I already knew that this model existed but it is the first time that I was able to get a pair of good pictures of this model. It seems that the model is a copy of the model by Tekno.

Yesterday I presented the Volvo 855 T5 from RPM Models and told that they did also Police versions for the United Kingdom. But I forget to mention the various liveries that have been produced. - Volvo 855 T5 Estate 'Hampshire Police' item # VO 02 available as kit or rtr - Volvo 855 T5 Estate 'Sussex Police' item # VO 03 available as kit or rtr Unfortunately I can't show you a finished model. I have never seen one so far. Photos used with permission.
The British company R.P.M. Models has released a few years ago a rather well detailed 1:43 Volvo 855 T5 resin kit.
The model was available as normal road car but also in several Police versions for the UK. The kit has a lot of fine cast metal, white metal, photo-etched parts and details. Decals are supplied for the the right-hand drive dashboard and some exterior trim ( rear windows, front spoiler, ... ). My normal kit comes even with some parts which are intended to build the Police versions. But the decals for the Police versions are not included. The price tag of the kit was 45 €. I have tried a few times to contact the company but never got a reply. I found today a packaging variation of a Volvo 480 Turbo by Pilen. Everybody knows that AHC-Pilen did a lot of color schemes and packaging versions of the Volvo 480 ES and Volvo 480 Turbo. I found this red Volvo 480 Turbo in a box which was most certainly destined for the Spanish market. The series is called 'Serie Oro Luxe' and the item number is 378. The silver gray Volvo 480 ES ( item number 377 ) on the right photo has been listed for some time in my database.
The Volvo TP21 by ESDO is in fact not a real new old model.
But since it is the first time that I was able to find and see one as an unbuilt kit I presume that not many have seen it either. The resin kit is very clean and fits together perfectly. The kit comes with a lot of white metal and photo-etched detail parts. This Volvo 855 represents a Police car of the former 'Gendarmerie Grand-Ducale' from Luxembourg. The scale model is a one-off based on a Minichamps Volvo 855. Mike did this one by applying the correct decals and light-bar to the car. Only the licence plate is missing.

A Volvo collector from Greek recently told me that the Volvo 144 Taxi Stockholm was also offered there as a 'Kiosk' model by DeAgostini.
This collection was discontinued at number 56. Probably due to a lack of interest, the previously 70 intended models were never released. |
