Volvo V60 Volvo Ocean Race by Motorart

10/22/2011

0 Comments

 
The Volvo V60 'VOR' ( Volvo Ocean Race) by Motorart  is already in the stores for several weeks but I received mine only a few days ago.The paint is great with just two tiny dust spots. The window frames fit well.
My model was however not well assembled. There was a gap between the rear body and the rear bottom spoiler ( see the last picture ). After pulling apart the model to fix the wrong assembly, I saw that the steering wheel is much to low by even touching the seat. And one of the side mirrors is also not correctly mounted.
It has also a lot of tiny light round spots on the bottom.

These are in the end not big issues. But since the price tag goes up steadily, the quality should also improve.

The model sells for ± 33€.

The 1971 US-version of the Volvo 145 which Neo Scale Models
announced already in May will be available in the shops in the next days. 
This model reflects the export version for the US market which featured larger bumpers to fulfill the new 'passenger car bumper standard' from the NHTSA.

A few details are missing for having a correct US-version.

The model comes painted in dark green.
There is also a dog laying in the trunk as with the previous models of the Volvo 145 by Neo Scale Models.

10/5/2011

0 Comments

 
The Australian based company Biante has announced a new livery for the Volvo 242 Turbo in 1:18 scale.
The model car is based on the one from Autoart. It seems that Biante and Autoart have strong connections.

They choose to do the Volvo 242 # 55 driven by Robbie Francevic and John Bowe in 1985 at the James Hardie 1000 Bathurst race.

The product number is A88593.


Thank you very much Jan for telling me about this one.
