NEW RELEASES

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

2014 Volvo models by Norev

6/28/2013

3 Comments

 
Norev has recently released a batch of new 1:43 scale Volvo models representing cars with the 2014 face-lift. Norev will offer besides the already presented official models for Volvo a few new paint schemes. They are :
  • 2014  Volvo S60    :  Crystal white pearl
  • 2014  Volvo V60    :  Seashell
  • 2014  Volvo XC60  :  Flamenco red

The Volvo XC60 will apparently be advertised as a special 'Desperate Housewives' edition. Susan Delfino who is played by Teri Hatcher is driving a 2009 Volvo XC60 in Flamenco red in the well known TV soap named 'Desperate Housewives' ( 2004-2012 ). Susan drove of course the older XC60 version so it will be of course a 'fake' special edition.

Norev will release more models and colors later this year. They are not yet allowed to announce further details about those news.

Volvo 240 GL estate by BoS Models

6/15/2013

5 Comments

 
This 1989 Volvo 240 GL estate announced four month ago has been released yesterday. The 1:18 scale model is marketed under the label BoS Models. This shortcut stands for Best of Show Models and is a rather new label from the German online shop Modelcarworld.

This red Volvo with the black interior has no opening or moving parts. The resin model is exclusively made for Modelcarworld by the French company OttOmobile. This iconic Volvo has never been offered before in this scale. This model has been produced in a limited batch of only 1000 models. It is exclusively available at Modelcarworld.de for 99.95 € under item # 183928.

The scale models by OttoOmobile feature normally a very high level of details and excellent reproduced surfaces. Modelcarworld is however asking a much higher price as does OttOmobile with the models in their regular program.

Update :

A French Volvo fan and collector was very lucky. He received the car wearing number 245. Congratulations.

Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' special edition by Matrix Scale Models

6/7/2013

1 Comment

 
The Volvo 264 TE DDR limousine from 1978 by Matrix Scale Models has been delivered this week. The regular release is limited to 408 models and available for 76 - 80 €.
Matrix Scale Model has however also produced a special release for the German model store Budig from Berlin. This version consists of the Volvo 264 TE with the figurines of Erich Honecker and his wife Margot. This limited edition of only 100 units is exclusively available at www.modellautos-budig.de for 98 € under item # MX12106-024.

This 1:43 scale model is made of resin and features many photo-etched parts. The car as well as the Honecker couple are fixed on a plastic base. The set is protected by a perspex show box. This set has been released two days ago.
Those of you with hawk eyes have certainly noticed that Matrix Scale Models has improved some details and the overall finish of this scale model. It is positive to see that some producers are listening to their customers and take into account their remarks.

Upcoming models in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas

6/6/2013

29 Comments

 

Upcoming models :

Some very friendly people from Editions Atlas informed me about the upcoming models in the Volvo Collection. Some of these news are without a doubt a real surprise and will make the collection even more attractive. Many have never been done before as a scale model. And I'm sure that a few more scoops will appear. The exact release order is not yet known.
  • Volvo P1800 ES Prince Carl Gustav
  • Volvo 244 Blue Star 1978
  • Volvo 480 Turbo - prototype USA
  • Volvo 440 Politie ( Police NL )
  • Volvo V40 ( 2001 )

Release of the Volvo Collection in Germany :

The release of the Volvo Collection in Germany is planned for this September. The collection will be continued if the first models will be successful. It is also very probable that the collection will be available in other German-speaking countries. So stay tuned in for more updates.

Official 2014 Volvo models by Norev

6/5/2013

6 Comments

 
Volvo's merchandising department has finally and officially published yesterday the scale models for the model-year 2014. The 1:43 scale models can now be purchased on their website. The available models are the redesigned Volvo S60, V60, S80, V70, X60 and XC70.  Each model is available in two different paint schemes and each one costs 39.70 €.

The scale models are at the moment only available at Volvo's merchandising webstore. They are not yet listed on Norev's website and I still don't know when they will be available in local hobby stores.

All these models are now being produced by the French company Norev. The overall quality of them has improved compared to the previous ones offered by Motorart.
