I have recently found a box by Scalextric featuring a set of two 1:32 scale slotcars. One is the Volvo 854 already known from other sets and a Peugeot 406.
I was not able to find out more details about this slotacr set.

Volvo 854 by AHC for Volvo

4/27/2013

3 Comments

 
AHC has provided several Volvo 850 scale models to Volvo for their official merchandising department. The models were the same then the ones offered directly by AHC but they featured a special decorated blue box wearing the Volvo lettering. A former Volvo employee from France send me these photos of this Volvo 854 GLT from 1992. It is painted a light blue metallic. This paint scheme was missing so far in my database. Only a black and a white version was mentioned so far in the database. Please let me know if you have eventually a different color in your collection. The miniature which has been made in Spain has AHC's item # 486 marked on the bottom plate. Volvo's official part number was however # 280958.

Volvo 854 pedal car by ToysToys

What could be more perfect than presenting this car in some nice girlish colors for today's International Women's Day. I was aware that this Volvo 854 pedal car had been offered in blue and red but I have never seen this nice color in the past.
Over 10000 units of these pedal cars have been produced starting in 1995 by the Italian company ToysToys. The car is made of a plastic body fixed on a metallic chassis.

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.

Volvo 850 T5 Sussex Police by RPM Models

10/30/2012

0 Comments

 
The British company R.P.M. Models has released back in 1998 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. I have already presented the road version here. The following photos will show you the 'Sussex Police' version.
A lot of fine cast metal, white metal, photo-etched parts and details are included within this resin kit. There is no noticeable flash on the resin body and the various detail parts. Excellent clear and crisp decals are supplied for this right-hand drive Police car model. The instructions are rather basic, but then then it's not the most complex kit and it should all make sense. But a few photos of the real car will be very helpful to apply the details and decals to the correct places.

Unfortunately I can't show you a finished model. I have never seen one so far.
The once available Police versions were :
-  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

Volvo 855 T5 by RPM Models

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.

Volvo 855

This Dutch game-board 'Volvo Grand-Prix' has four Volvo 855 models as game figures.
The little cars measures each 30x10x6 mm which means that they are 1:160 scale models.
The yellow P1800 from Corgi just serves as reference for size.
