Volvo V90 Cross Country by Norev for Volvo

9/16/2016

0 Comments

 
PictureVolvo's Cross Country family
Yesterday Volvo has officially presented the newest generation of the Cross Country declination for their large breaks. I don't get it why you should buy an altered version of a large estate which features elegant lines to end up with a high standing car which seems to wear still some of the plastic body panels usually fitted to the pre-production cars running on public roads. Well my guess is  Volvo's marketing department knows what they are doing.
A launch of a new Volvo model brings in his train a 1:43 scale counterpart. Official photos of the scale model have not yet been revealed. But Volvo's merchandising department has already released details of the first two versions. The first 1:43 scale model of the Volvo V90 Cross Country will be available in osmium gray metallic (714) and crystal white metallic (707).
Each will be offered for €47.60 incl tax. You can order the official Volvo merchandising models @ collection.volvocars.com
However I really don't get it why they offer the model in crystal white. Each of the light colors look pretty weird in combination with all the dark plastic body parts for the car. It just doesn't look right to me.

Volvo Amazon Coune by Editions Atlas

9/15/2016

2 Comments

 
 The number sixty-eight in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo Amazon Coune convertible. I'm very pleased that Editions Atlas has chosen to add this iconic and much sought after Volvo to their Volvo Collection. The open version of the Swedish Amazon has not been built or even designed by Volvo. The Belgian Jacques Coune has produced and offered in 1963 and 1964 only four Volvo Amazon convertibles. They were available with either a bordeaux or black leather interior. Two of the four-seat convertibles have survived. One being in Belgium and one in Germany.

JMK is about to finish a run for H0 (1:87) kits of the Volvo V60 as well as the Volvo V60. I posted a tiny teaser earlier this month but nobody was able to find out. The kits will be made out of resin and you will have to assemble and paint them. Each of the very clean kits will be available for € 24 & shipping costs. You can reserve yours by sending an email to JMK.
Like most previous JMK models, this kit consist of:
  • the body
  • the base with seats and dashboard
  • turning wheels
  • separate glazing
  • decals for front grill and front & rear lights
Picture

Volvo V60
  • scale: 1:87 (H0-scale)
  • material: resin kit
  • limited run of 25 kits
  • price: € 24.00 & shipping

The photo shows the first built and painted kit. The windows as well as some tiny details are still missing on the shown model.

Volvo XC90 R-Design by GTA

9/10/2016

1 Comment

 
 Volvo offers five different trim levels for their XC90: Kinetic, Momentum, R-Design, Inscription and Excellence. GTA (Welly) will release an 1:18 scale model featuring the automaker’s sporty R-Design pack. Volvo’s R-Design packs don't include any improved engine performance but they do add a sporty presence for the vehicles—both inside and out. Typical enhancements include aero mods, stiffened suspension, uprated wheels and tires, sports seats and perforated leather trim. Other features are among others enlarged intakes up front, new side sills, silver side mirror caps and enlarged wheels (20" or 22").
The upcoming diecast model will be available in two different colors: crystal white pearl metallic (707) and bursting blue metallic (720). The latter is an exclusive paint only available with the R-Design option. The 1:18 model features four opening doors as well as working hood and tailgate. GTA will distribute their model under item number 11009. I don't have any info's about an official retail price. My guess is it will be somewhere between 130 and 150 €.

Volvo V40, S90 and XC90 by Norev - new colors

9/6/2016

0 Comments

 
Norev will offer new colors for their 1:43 scale models of the Volvo V40, S90 and XC90. Each of the three models will be available in a new color. The Volvo V40 (2016) will be available in 'christal white metallic' (707), the S90 in 'osmium grey metallic' (714) and the XC90 in 'savile grey metallic' (492). Norev has released the V40 and S90 so far in two paint schemes for Volvo's official merchandising program. The newly announced colors will be available in Norev's regular model program. And the new paint scheme for the Volvo XC90 is already the sixth color. It seems to me that Volvo's new XC90 is also a high-selling model among scale model aficionados. You will have to wait until spring 2017 before these new releases will be available.
