NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
Editions Atlas has launched this week a new collection called 'Police Cars Collection'. This new collection is now available in Sweden but it will be extended to the remaining Scandinavian countries anytime soon. The first release is interesting for any Volvo fans since it is a replica of a PV445 Duett as once used by the Swedish Police. The car features the well known 'Polis' livery of black and white. This 1:43 scale model is also fitted with the typical lights and sirens on the car's roof. The starting model of this new 'Police Cars Collection' is available for only 46 SEK which are today 4.90 EUR or 5.46 USD. This price tag includes the model, a booklet, a small pocket lamp as well as the shipping fees. You will receive more small gifts when you will go with the initial subscription to that new collection. You will receive with your second model a box for keeping the booklets followed by a DVD 'Police Cars' with your third model. And the fifth model will include a presentation rack where you can place fifteen models. All the models offered in this collection are made of diecast. I'm pretty sure that Editions Atlas has planned to add a couple more Volvo's to this new 'Police Cars Collection'.

Complete lineup of all existing versions offered by Wiking:
The new generation of the Volvo XC90 is without a doubt an important part of Volvo's actual production share. It seems that the XC90 plays an nearly important part as scale model. Norev started last year with the release of the official merchandising model in 1:43. Welly recently followed by presenting the first photos of their 1:60 and 1:38 toy versions of the XC90. And as I mentioned back in June GTA - one of Welly's own labels - will release later this year an 1:18 counterpart of the all-new XC90. And now it's the turn of Motor City Classics to announce another 1:18 scale model version of the XC90. Motor City Classics was so far rather well know for offering mainly 1:18 scale models of classic US cars: Ford Model A, Lincoln KB, Chrysler Town & Country convertible, Ford Woody Station Wagon, Chevrolet Woody Station Wagon, Studebaker Golden Hawk, Airstream trailer, ... Motor City Classcis has announced that they will offer the 2016 model of the XC90 in two different colors:
As stated on several websites both versions may be available as early as next November. So you might get/find your copy under the tree at the end of the year. The model offered by Motor City Classics is made of diecast. I ignore however which manufacturer will produce these models. A well informed source told me that the models by Motor City Classics and by GTA/Welly will not be made by the same manufacturing company. We will have to wait before being able to compare whose model is the most accurate. Motor City Classics wins in my opinion when it comes to paint schemes. They will provide us with the two attractive colors which are onyx black metallic and luminous sand metallic whereas GTA/Welly will offer their model in white or blue.
