NEW RELEASES

You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released.

UPDATED - Volvo VESC by Griffin Models

1/19/2015

0 Comments

 
The Bulgarian company Griffin Models which is well known for her excellent Saab scale models has released the first photos of their very first Volvo scale model - the Volvo VESC.

The Volvo VESC has never been offered before as scale model. The Volvo VESC – Volvo Experimental Safety Car was a safety vehicle which was built back in 1972. Many features of that car served as base for the 200 series.

The 1:43 scale model will be made of resin. The model will be offered as kit. It is not yet clear if a rtr model will also be available. My guess is that a very small run of rtr models will be offered. Prices are not yet given since this depends largely on the final number of parts needed for making this model. But the final retail price should be close those found on other models by Griffin Models.

The photos below show you the casting of the first resin bodies. Another 59 of each are almost ready as well. The smaller black models are used as negatives and will serve as a master for a vacuum-formed window canopy. The remaining detail parts - windows, decals, stickers and photo-etched details - will be made in the upcoming weeks. Both models shown on the photos will be released in February 2015.

_Some may remember that I announced this release back in 2013 see here. Well slight delay don't happen just to big manufacturers somewhere in Asia but also to craftsmen working as one man team in their workshop. But be assured that you won't regret to have waited slightly longer as initially announced.

Close ups of some pre-production steps :
Please have also a look at Griffin Models FB page which shows you a large number of detailed views of so far produced Saab models and detail parts. Those photos give you an excellent overview of the given quality.

There has been a price increase since the last announcement. The retail price has raised from 29.99 € to 30.99 € per model. The price for the recently announced emergency models has been fixed to 33.99 €. Each model is made out of diecast with plastic parts. They are made by Ixo in China for the label Triple9 Collection.
