UPDATED - Volvo C30 by Solido

3/25/2012

2 Comments

 
Solido who is celebrating his 80th anniversary this year has released a 2007 Volvo C30 in 1:43 scale.
The blue metallic model has a black interior.
The Volvo is offered for ±20 € under the item # 421433270.
A property of the Solido scale model are the half open door windows. No other company offers this on the Volvo C30 model.

I made however a big mistake when I posted the news on 03/19/2012. I wrote that it was the first release after Solido had announced this model back in 2007. This is not correct.

Bert Jan, a longtime Volvo collector, pointed out to me that Solido released a first run of that model back in 2008. The model hat the same item number and the only difference between both models is that the first run was entirely blue whereas the second and new run has also the same blue metallic paint but comes with a dark blue body-kit.

Volvo C30 by Solido - first run in 2008

Solido already released a Volvo C30 in metallic blue under the same item number in 2008.
The difference between this model and the new 2012 run is that the second has a dark blue body-kit.

As I wrote earlier this week the Volvo Collection has appeared on the Belgium website from Editions Atlas but the page did not work back then.

Since yesterday the website is also available and working properly.

Unfortunately the collection still can't be ordered on the French spoken website. What a shame.
