Volvo 66 GL by Editions Atlas

5/22/2013

2 Comments

 
The thirtieths model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo 66 GL. The car comes painted in green (61) and features a peachy-brown interior. The model represents a car from 1975 which was just a year after Volvo had acquired DAF. The Volvo version of the car was slightly restyled and given larger bumpers compared with those of the original DAF model. The Volvo 66 received new seats featuring headrests. Improved safety features were doors with steel side impact bars and a safety steering wheel.

This car featured the Variomatic gearbox which was later also available on the Volvo 300 series. The Variomatic was also offered on the Mini and a few other small cars of that time.

UPDATED - Volvo 760 6-door limousine by Modelk

5/19/2013

A small Chinese producer has recently launched a resin kit of a Volvo 760 6-door limousine. The 1:43 scale kit seems to feature very clean resin parts and a bunch of photo etched parts for the trim, window frames, badges, and many other details. The kit is available for 49.95 $ under item # k38. It can also be purchased on eBay but the price will be 59.95 $ instead of the 49.95 $.

This kit is limited to 50 units !

I have however discovered that the tires are made of resin and not out of rubber. This is of course not so great if you are intending to assemble the kit into an high end scale model.
Thanks to kikou40 for providing and sharing his photos.

I can't tell you so far how many kits have been made. I'm still trying to get in contact with the producer.

I have however discovered that the tires are made of resin and not out of rubber. This is of course not so great if you are intending to assemble the kit into an high end scale model.

I will present this kit more in detail as soon as my kit has arrived.

Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas - some updates

5/16/2013

0 Comments

 
Editions Atlas has revealed that they will launch the Volvo Collection also in Germany at the end of this year. Under discussion are also a few other European countries. Editions Atlas is still investigating if those will be promising markets.

Info from an Editions Atlas employee concerning the Volvo Duett model :
And for the anecdote : we wanted to produce the P210 as nr. 23, but our producer (IXO) took the wrong car as an example and it was too late to change the molds. It's not a redecoration of the same mold, it's a complete new mold of the same car ! So we had to find an interesting decoration that our customer won't be disappointed by what seems to be only a new color.

Here is the latest Volvo scale model which Norev is producing officially for Volvo's merchandise department. This miniature represents the redesigned Volvo S80 as it will be produced for the model year 2014. The 1:43 scale model is made out of diecast. I'm sure that a second paint scheme will follow very soon. I do not yet know when this model will be available in local stores.
