NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
The Volvo P1900 has finally been released. The start makes the already announced blue model. And Modelcarworld offers the very same moment a special limited edition of only 300 units in red with a red interior. The models are offered for 54.95 € on the web. I wrote initially that their price would be 60.95 €. The windshield which has received some criticism on the first released photos showing a pre-production model has been changed. It is no longer a part of the resin body but a separate photo-etched part. This modification has largely improved the visual aspect of this scale model.
Two more color variants will follow at a later date.

It seems that Norev will produce the next official 1:43 scale models for Volvo. This means that Motorart will no longer offer official passenger cars for Volvo. There is no official info available at this point. Norev and Volvo's merchandising department haven't announced so far that they will work together. I suppose that again there will be two color versions of each model available. Photos of the Volvo V60, XC70 and XC60 have appeared so far. My guess is that every model will be offered. The models represent all the redesigned cars of the model-year 2014. 2014 Volvo V60 - electric silver metallic 2014 Volvo XC70 - terra bronze metallic 2014 Volvo XC70 - white 2014 Volvo XC60 - terra bronze metallic
An upcoming model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas will be a blue Volvo 240 Polar from 1992. This model has appeared in an auction in China. This was in the past always a sign that the same model will be released in a near future here in Europe. The name Polar stands for a special trim level which was offered only in Europe back in 1991 and 1992 on the Volvo 240. It had typically special “cold weather” features such as heated mirrors, heated seats, and a limited slip differential.
The Danish company DMC Decals is offering once again a decal set for a Volvo XC90. The decal sheet allows you to recreate a Volvo XC90 as it is used by the local Belgian police of Hageland. The decal sheet is available for 7 € under item number 911.43.116. The Belgian police is divided into two different corps : the local and the federal police. The local police services can be identified by the light blue stripe behind the dark blue ones. A vehicle of the federal police would have a red stripe instead of the light blue one.

Matrix Scale Models has just published the first pictures of the upcoming Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' stretched limousine. The shortcut TE stands for Top Executive. It was initially scheduled to be released in the third quarter but it seems that it will now be available in the second quarter of 2013. The model will be available under item # MX12106-023 for around 80 €. It seems that it will be a limited edition of only 312 units. The proportions of the cars looks really good and the model represents well the limousine from the first batch. I do ignore if the model on the photos below will be released as such or if it is still a pre-production model. I have however discovered several tiny errors : - the dark blue painted cars had a dark blue upholstery and never a black one - the chrome around the side windows seems less shiny than the rest of the chromed trim - the chrome of the door handles seems less shiny than the rest of the chromed trim - the flags are a little bit to high ( the pole is too long ) - the flags are not located on the correct place : they were situated more on the outer side of the headlights - the model features optional front fog lamps under the front bumper ( I do ignore if many featured this option ) Source & copyright : matrixscalemodels.com
