The international publishing company DeAgostini has launched in Russia a collection featuring Police cars from around the world. The collection who started back in 2013 consist of 1:43 scale models. These models are made out of diecast by Ixo in China. Each model of this collection comes with a booklet and is packed in a blister on cardboard. A second Volvo model has just been released. It is a model of a Volvo 343 in the livery of the Dutch Police forces. The Dutch Police used the Volvo 343 from the end of the 1970's into the 1980's. The Volvo 343 had a couple of different liveries over the years. Here is a link with infos regarding this Dutch Police car : politievoertuigen.nl
The Volvo 343 'Police' (NL) is officially sold for 369.00 RUB (± 6.50 EUR). This model is however surprisingly an exact copy of the model which has been offered in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas. The model was released in spring of 2014 (see here). The only difference between the two releases is that DeAgostini sells the Volvo 343 on a blister on cardboard. The models from the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas are limited to that specific collection. This normally means that not one Volvo which has been designed for the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas can be offered in the same color and/or livery in another collection or offered under another label.

Scan of the folder:

A Volvo 240 estate in the livery of the Stockholm 'Sjöpolisen' (Marine police) Police department has appeared as number 56 in this collection (see here). Two further Volvo Police cars have been announced:

• number 73:   Volvo 244 'Polis' Norway
  
• number 79:   Volvo 164 'Polis' Sweden

The number fifty-eight in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 760 GLE estate. This 1:43 scale model reproduces a model after the 1988 face-lifting of the 760 series. This model is available in the rarer blue green metallic (paint code 402). Only 37445 units of the 760 estate have been sold. The 740 estate who offered the same space but with smaller engines and fewer luxurious options was sold way more often. 358952 produced units means nearly ten times as much as the way more expensive 760 estate.

When the Volvo 760 GLE was introduced in February 1982, it was available only as a 4-door sedan. 1985 saw the launch of the long-awaited 5-door estate car. The 760 GLE estate car continued the tradition begun by the Volvo 265, that is to say a 6-cylinder estate car with a high equipment specification. The 760 GLE had a modern profile with a low waistline and large glass areas. In estate car guise, the 760 featured an almost vertical tailgate - a profile which by now had become something of a hallmark of Volvo's estate cars. The new 5-door estate combined generous accommodation for passengers and luggage with an exceptionally high standard of safety. Three engine alternatives were offered: a 2.8 litre V6, a high-performance 2.3 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged unit, and a 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel. The 760 GLE received a substantial facelift for the 1988 model year, with an all-new front and a new instrument panel being the most noticeable features. The Volvo 760 GLE was replaced in autumn 1990 by the Volvo 960.
Like just about every Volvo since the 120/Amazon, the 760 was designed by Volvo’s in-house stylist, Jan Wilsgaard. He had clearly been smitten with rectilinear styling since the 140 was introduced in 1966, and the 760 was no exception. The square theme continued into the interior styling. The Volvo 760 was introduced in 1982 to replace the 264 GLE. While the 760 GLE and its less expensive sibling the 740 were meant to replace the 240/260 series, both would be built concurrently for several years. Accounting for all redesigns and name changes, this car lasted all the way to 1998, as the straight six-powered S90/V90. The 760 had a unitized body and was powered by the 2.8L B28 PRV V6, a joint-venture engine used by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo, not to mention DeLorean. It produced 136 hp @ 5500 rpm and  215 newton meters of torque. It was not a particularly  sturdy engine, however. In 1984, the 760 Turbo was introduced. Instead of the V6, it had the turbocharged and intercooled B230FT ‘redblock’ engine, producing 160 hp @ 2900 rpm and 187 lb ft of torque. With this new powerplant, the 760 Turbo was a pretty speedy car in its day.
Contrary to Volvo’s usual practice of the second digit of the model name corresponding to the number of cylinders, the 760 Turbo had an inline four-cylinder. Other than more exterior chrome, different alloy wheels and a fancier interior with automatic climate control, it was much like the 740 Turbo, also introduced in 1984.
In 1986, wagons were added to the 740 and 760 line, and that included a 760 Turbo wagon. You might say it really hauled. By 1986, standard features included an electric sunroof, AM/FM stereo cassette with a five-band graphic equalizer and heated seats. 760s also had a unique Nivomat automatic leveling system. These cars were fully loaded right off the assembly line; you really didn’t need to add anything.

The second announced Volvo S60 STCC model is:

• 1:43   2015   Volvo S60 STCC race car - rebel blue item # 300069
  

BoS-Models which is a label of the big German company modelcarworld.de has released the model of a Volvo PV445 Duett. What makes this rather special is the fact that it is a resin model in 1:18. Volvo's Duett has so far been popular among scale model manufacturers who offered most versions in 1:43 and 1:87 (H0). But any Duett in larger scales was until now just offered in tiny numbers by small producers who hand made them and offered them in rather confidential channels.

BoS-Models has chosen to reproduce model year 1956. This resin model comes in the well known and attractive paint scheme blue over light gray over blue. The bi colored interior consists of white and red seats. I guess more color versions will be released in the future.

This first release can be purchased under item number 193756 for 99.95 € plus shipping.

The above photos show the model as it has been presented on this years Toy Fair in Nürnberg.

BoS-Models has released two 1:18 scale Volvo's prior to this one. The first was the Volvo 240 estate and the second the Volvo P1900 Sports. All three models are produced in China but I can't tell you by which manufacturer.
