Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' by Matrix Scale Models

3/30/2013

10 Comments

 
Matrix Scale Models has just published the first pictures of the upcoming Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' stretched limousine. The shortcut TE stands for Top Executive. It was initially scheduled to be released in the third quarter but it seems that it will now be available in the second quarter of 2013. The model will be available under item # MX12106-023 for around 80 €. It seems that it will be a limited edition of only 312 units.

The proportions of the cars looks really good and the model represents well the limousine from the first batch. I do ignore if the model on the photos below will be released as such or if it is still a pre-production model. I have however discovered several tiny errors :
-   the dark blue painted cars had a dark blue upholstery and never a black one
-   the chrome around the side windows seems less shiny than the rest of the chromed trim
-   the chrome of the door handles seems less shiny than the rest of the chromed trim
-   the flags are a little bit to high ( the pole is too long )
-   the flags are not located on the correct place : they were situated more on the outer side of the headlights
-   the model features optional front fog lamps under the front bumper ( I do ignore if many featured this option )

Volvo 142 by Editions Atlas

3/27/2013

10 Comments

 
An upcoming model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas will most probably be a Volvo 142 from 1973. This model has appeared in an auction in China. This was in the past always a sign that the same model will be released in a near future here in Europe.

This is indeed a little frustrating since the previously released model of the Volvo 144 was also wearing a similar red paint.

Volvo PV445 Duett 'Volvo Service' by Editions Atlas

3/24/2013

2 Comments

 
The twenty-third model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo PV455 Duett and not a P210 Duett as I posted earlier this month. The Duett represents a service car as it was used by Volvo. The white over light blue model features a large roof-rack and a Volvo logo on both side doors. This is the first redecorated version of a previous released model. The first PV445 Duett was released as early as model # 4.

Ben, the webmaster from the Dutch website volvo-forum.nl received the information by the Editions Atlas headquarter in Switzerland that the Volvo Collection will be extended from 30 to 45 models.

The collection seems to be a success. The series includes currently 24 models. So you can expect a few more surprises in the coming months.

Volvo ÖV4 by Editions Atlas

3/13/2013

9 Comments

 
The twenty-fourth model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas will most probably be the Volvo ÖV4 from 1927. This model has appeared in an auction in China. This was in the past always a sign that the same model will be released in a near future here in Europe.

The ÖV4 was Volvo's first car. It was also named Jakob. This specific model has been offered in the past only as a white metal model by Somerville. That model was and still is much sought-after and the selling price topped regularly the 300 € mark.

Volvo P210 Duett by Editions Atlas

3/5/2013

6 Comments

 
The twenty-third model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo P210 Duett from 1960. It will be the upcoming model in Norway.

You will say that there has already been a Duett in this collection. But in fact the shape of the front-end and especially the area around the windshield are different between both versions. This difference in shape has however not always been correctly reproduced in the various existing scale models. We will have to wait and see how Editions Atlas will perform.
