Volvo 242 Turbo Group A by Beemax

12/24/2017

0 Comments

 
What a gem! Most of you will most probably know about this model since it has been announced earlier this year. Back in June we were allowed the first glimpses of this newly engineered 1:24 plastic model kit. The kit has just been released in Asia (China, Japan, ...) and should be available in the remaining world next month. The kit has been designed and produced by Beemax of Macau. Aoshima will distribute the model in Europe and America. This kit will allow you to built two different race versions of the famous Volvo 242 Turbo Group A model from the mid 1980's:
  • 1985   Volvo Dealer Team Europe  -  winner InterTec race at the Fuji Speedway in Japan
  • 1986   Kamachi  -  winner Guia race of Macau
The 1:24 kit features:
  • plastic parts
  • faithfully reproduced interior details (dashboard, rolling cage, ...)
  • with tapered tires corresponding to camber
  • silk printed decals (for both versions)
  • detailed instructions sheets
  • specific parts for each version
The kit is offered as BEEMAX No.16 and available under item number 098257 (JAN code 4905083098257). The official price tag in Japan are 4536 yen (JPY) (± €33.76 / $40.04) but you might find it a 'lil cheaper on the web. I don't know yet the official price tag for Europe. I would suggest you to add the available detail kit o your shopping list. It features various photo-etched detail parts which will upgrade the finished kit. It gets usually hard to locate 'em at a later date.

Details of this kit

  • The first published CAD rendering
