NEW RELEASES

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

New 1:43 Volvo scale models by IXO

5/28/2012

0 Comments

 
I have received over the last days a few newsletter from various retailers in Europe announcing new 1:43 Volvo scale models from IXO's product line Premium-X. A few even pretend that the models will be released this June. I doubt if this will happen because IXO hasn't yet released the blue PV544 (CLC205) which they announced already over a year ago.

None of IXO's official websites provides infos about these announcements at this time.

Here is a short overview of the announced models :
# PRD228
# PRD229
# PRD230
Volvo PV444
Volvo Amazon 4-door
Volvo Amazon 2-door
1944
1957
1965
dark blue
white over red
metallic black

The price tag for one model will be between 32 and 37 €.

I will update this post as soon as I have been able to find more infos about these models.

It has been a while since the last release of a Volvo scale model by Minichamps. They experienced the same problems with delayed production as most other toy companies over the few years.

It seems however that new models will be ready for shipping to the customers in a few weeks. The following models who have been announced two years ago are listed to become available in July 2012 :

Volvo 244 kit by Volvohobby.com

5/22/2012

Marcin from Volvohobby.com is already working on his second project : a Volvo 244.
Since the first release , a Volvo 245, is an excellent model, I guess the second will be as good as the previous one.

The kit for the Volvo 244 will probably be ready in two weeks.

You can order both models on Marcin's website volvohobby.com

Volvo 245 kit by Volvohobby.com

5/21/2012

0 Comments

 
Today I have the pleasure to present you a more unusual Volvo scale model. It is a 1:25 scale Volvo 245 model kit made of printed cardboard. The very detailed kit represents a model from the last generation which was produced from 1986 until 1993.
The idea for such a kit came from Marcin Barański, a Polish Volvo fan. The kit has been designed and realized by Lukasz Fuczek who is a well known paper modeler.
The printed paper sheets for one kit are offered as soft cover booklets which can be purchased for 9.90 € & shipping.

You can order one by sending an email to JMK.
Like the previous models, the resin kit consist of :

Volvo P210 Duett by Neo Scale Models

5/20/2012

0 Comments

 
Neo Scale Models has just announced 2 new models for the Norwegian market.
Each model is limited to 100 units and has been exclusively produced for a retailer called Lovbakke Traktor og MC.

If you check both websites, you will however notice that 3 different models are shown :

# 45720
# ????
#
45721
P210 Duett Panel Van 'Norsk Vegmuseum' in yellow
P210 Duett Panel Van 'Norsk Vegmuseum' in orange
P210 Duett Panel Van 'Brøyt'


Only the yellow 'Norsk Vegmuseum' and the 'Brøyt' versions are shown on the Lovbakke Traktor og MC website.
But Neo Scale Models shows the 'Norsk Vegmuseum' in yellow and orange but labels the orange one as the 'Brøyt' version.

Another issue is that Neo Scale Models announces these models as Volvo PV445 Duett which is again wrong. They are rather Volvo P210 Duett panel vans.

I will update this post as soon as I have been able to clear up all these issues.
