Volvo PV445 Ambulance by Rob Eddie

10/29/2012

1 Comment

 
Brooklin Models and Rob Eddie have surprised us with this new release. It represents a Volvo PV455 ambulance with long wheelbase. The 1:43 white metal model has not been announced earlier. It has been exclusively produced for Rob Eddie in Sweden and only he and the Dutch shop Model Cars Bergselaan are selling this model. It is available for 89 € under item number RE35x. This model is limited to 130 units. It is a new body with an even longer wheelbase as the hearse which has been produced a few years back.

The folks at Brooklin Models had even to design larger boxes because of the size of the ambulance. Brooklin Models has started a whole new line of ambulance models. Most are of course of American origin. Click here to see the various designing and production steps of an iconic model.

Volvo 242 Turbo by Neo Scale Models

10/28/2012

0 Comments

 
Neo Scale Model has released its third Volvo 242 Turbo model. The latest is an exclusive model for the German web-shop Modelcarworld.de and is limited to 300 units and available under item # 174805 for 59.95 € plus S&H.
The silver car wears the number 20 and comes in the colors of the German team Kissling Motorsport. The car was driven in the 1985 DTM season by Heinz-Friedrich Peil. This was in fact a private car with no support from Volvo : Peil built up the car and Kissling Motorsport did the engine tuning. They used however the 4-door version because it was too difficult to get the 2-door shell. This was the only Volvo 240 4-door used as a race car.

Conclusion :
Neo Scale models has once again not been able to produce a 100% correct car. It seems to me that they just don't care and that they just want to put as many models as possible on the market.

Quote :
Drammens Is was a former ice cream manufacturer based in Drammen, Norway.

Drammens Is was founded in 1937. In 1991, Drammens Is bought Joker Is which had production and head offices in Trondheim. On 4 June 1997, a car bomb had exploded outside a Bandidos clubhouse in Drammen as a part of the Great Nordic Biker War. The Drammen factory was completely destroyed after a fire due to the bombing. Just afterwards the company was bought by Nestlé who took over the rights to the brands, and made an agreement with Diplom-Is, a Norwegian ice cream manufacturer regarding production and distribution of Drammens Is products.

Among the brands made by Drammens Is were Gullkrone, Kjempe-Yes, Hip, Hawaii, Mr. Yankee, Break, Luksuspinne, Kjempe-Nuggi, Sjokoladepinne, Banansplit, Twin, Kokosboller and På Minuttet. After large economic losses on the Norwegian ice cream market, Nestlé closed down its Norwegian ice cream division in 2005. At the same time Diplom-Is AS took over the marketing and distribution of Nestlé's international ice cream brands in Norway while the former Drammens Is brands disappeared from the marketplace
