I can announce three future releases for the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas. The upcoming cars are a Volvo Amazon break, a Volvo PV56 and a Volvo 780 Bertone. The Amazon break will be the next model in Norway. The PV56 will be the next model in the Netherlands and Belgium. I do ignore when and where the Volvo 780 Bertone will be shipped.

Volvo XC90 by NewRay

2/7/2013

2 Comments

 
I have discovered two new Volvo XC90 scale models by NewRay. Both are 1:32 scale models. They aren't however listed on NewRay's website but I guess that these have already been released last year.

  • Volvo XC90 with boat and trailer
The silver gray Volvo XC90 has a black interior and comes in a set with a plain light gray Zodiac on a flat black twin-axle trailer. The set is offered under the NewRay label 'City Cruiser collection'. The item number is 54945. I'm still searching for a picture of this set.

  • Volvo XC90 R/C
This is a R/C model which consist of a diecast body. The set includes surprisingly also all the necessary parts to transform the R/C model into a state model. The model is available in gray metallic. It costs around 25 €.
The R/C model has the following functions :
  • the model runs forward and reverse and it is turning right and left
  • with realistic working brake and engine sounds
  • no batteries are included in the car
  • batteries are already included in the remote control
  • the model can easily be transformed from an R/C to a state model
  • the tools are included to realize the transformation

Premium-X   -   1:43

Premium-X will release in the next weeks the four models they have already announced last summer. They are however to my surprise not even featured in their catalog for 2013. My guess is that more models already available in the 'Volvo Collection' will show up in the future as slightly improved versions in IXO's and/or Premium-X standard program.

We can certainly expect a few more Volvo scale models from other well known brands. I suppose that most will be only new colors and liveries. But we also learned from the past that one or the other surprise can show up at any given time.

Don't hesitate to leave me a line if you should have seen any other model not yet listed or mentioned above.
