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 S60L by CSM

3/28/2015

3 Comments

 
I'm finally able to present you a couple more photos of the Volvo S60L scale model which I have already presented November 2014 (see here).

The Volvo S60L is a stretched version of the regular S60. This car is still pretty unknown here in Europe. This model is manufactured in China for the Chinese market. And it will probably be exported to the US market in 2015. The new S60L will replace the S80 in the future.
The Chinese company CSM offers this new Volvo model in 1:18 in two different colors :
  • seashell metallic - item # 9430836
  • crystal white pearl - item # 9430831
Both versions feature a nicely done two-tone interior as well as some working parts. This scale model is however only available in China. You may find a copy on one of the usual online auctions sites.

Functions:
  • the four doors, hood and trunk can be opened
  • both side mirrors can be folded
  • the inner layer of the sunroof can be slide forward and back, and the outer layer can be raised
  • the steering of the two front wheels and the steering wheel can be actuated in one control
  • both front seats can be moved forward and back
  • the front and rear wheels can be used to reduce vehicle vibration

Quote from Wiking's introduction on their website:
Taxi - Volvo 850 station wagon Item No. 080012
The Swedish taxi that was a miracle of spaciousness


Body with roof rails in light ivory; black interior and steering wheel. Chassis as well as front and rear bumper also in black. Silver wheels and radiator grill. Signal yellow taxi sign with black “Taxi” printing. In the rear, black “Volvo” lettering and “850” type number, number plate also in black. Black decorative strips on the sides and door handles.
Wiking has announced yesterday that they will release next month another Volvo 850 estate model in 1:87 (H0) scale. The upcoming model represents a Taxi (cab) as it may have been found on German streets back in the 1990's. The Volvo 855 estate in this 'Taxi' livery comes in the then usual German taxicab color ivory. The interior is all black.
This H0 scale model will be available for 9.99 € under item # 080012 (EAN 4006190800129).

Volvo S60 V8 Supercars by Apex Replicas - first photos released

3/3/2015

0 Comments

 
The Australian company Apex Replicas has published a couple of days ago the first pics of the first painted and decorated pre-production models of the Volvo S60 V8 Supercar. These scale models do not feature any opening parts. Such features would have resulted in way too high prices since the production batch of these models is pretty small. Their latest delivery schedule previews the models to arrive next June. You can place your order now with any of their authorized Apex Replicas stockists or online on their own website.

The upcoming models include:
