NEW RELEASES

You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released.

New Volvo models by Oxford Diecast

1/24/2017

0 Comments

 

Oxford Diecast goes on and on with their new model offensive. A new Volvo model as well as new color versions have been announced. The latest and newest form is a 1:76 replica of the Volvo PV544. Only a couple of the announced models back from 2016 have recently been released. Further paint schemes for the Volvo Amazon 4-door (1967), Volvo P1800 (1967), Volvo 245 DL Estate (1975) as well as Volvo 760 have been announced. I have listed all the versions - released as well as announced - in this post so that each of you can have an overview of all of their Volvo models in 1:76 scale. I'm pretty sure that further versions and models will be developed and offered in a near future. The upcoming Toy Fair in Nürnberg (DE) may provide us with further info's.
I'm confident that Oxford Diecast will release even more models and liveries since most of their models are offered in both scales scales 1:43 and 1:76.
The Volvo 760 has so far only been revealed as a drawing. This shows however quite an awkward design from the C-pillar on to the very end of the trunk. I guess we will have to wait and see if the final model will be correct or not.
And as already mentioned in my previous posts I think it is also worth mentioning that the scale models are RHD (right hand drive ) versions.

New Volvo models by Oxford Diecast

6/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Oxford Diecast goes on with their new model offensive. A bunch of new Volvo models as well as new liveries have been announced. Oxford Diecast will release as so often each model in both scales 1:43 as well as 1:76. The very new developments include models of the Volvo 760. And there will be further versions of the already announced and partially delivered Volvo Amazon's, P1800's and 245 estates.
The Volvo 760 has so far only been revealed as a drawing. This shows however quite an awkward design from the C-pillar on to the very end of the trunk. I guess we will have to wait and see if the final model will be correct or not.
I think it is also worth mentioning that the 1:43 scale models are RHD (right hand drive ) versions.

new Volvo models announced by Oxford Diecast

11/10/2015

0 Comments

 
The British company Oxford Diecast has announced a new batch of Volvo models. The first announced model - a Volvo 245 estate - has not yet been released but Oxford Diecast is already expanding the number of Volvo models. A new color for the Volvo Amazon 4-door has been announced as well. And the latest surprise being a newly developed model of the Volvo P1800. All these Volvo's will be released as diecast models. I presume all of 'em will be offered in the long term in both scales which are 1:43 and 1:76. I have to admit that Im not really happy with their color choices. It's kinda very reddish. But that is of course always a very personal thing. A precise release date has not yet been given but that gives you plenty of time saving enough money.

So far announced Volvo models by Oxford Diecast:
scale model model year exterior color interior color item number Barcode price in £ price in €
1:43 Volvo Amazon 4-door ? light green ? VA001 5055530115385 £ 22.95 € 31.24

Volvo Amazon by Oxford Diecast

9/13/2015

2 Comments

 
The British company Oxford Diecast has just announced the release of two new Volvo Amazon 4-door models. Yeah indeed not one but two new Amazon's. Oxford Diecast will in fact offer the new tooled diecast model in two different scales which are 1:43 and 1:76. But hey that's another good news. Their models are not very pricey and the overall quality is normally pretty fine.
And now the bad news:
  • a precise release date is not yet given but that gives you plenty of time saving enough money
  • Oxford Diecast has not yet mentioned a model-year for the upcoming Volvo Amazon and I don't wanna make an educated guess based on the only illustration they have published so far
  • I was not yet ale to find out which color will  have the interior

2015 news from the Nurnberg toy fair

2/2/2015

11 Comments

 
This years International Toy Fair in Nürnberg opened his doors from January 28 to February 2, 2015. Nürnberg welcomes each year the world’s biggest toy fair. Other well known toy fairs are held in New York (US), Chicago (US), Hong-Kong (CN) & Shanghai (CN).

The usual manufacturers which are already known to produce Volvo models have once again showed some news. I guess teh most awaited model will be the Volvo S60 STCC as well as the Volvo V60 Polestar. Motorart presented a couple of pre-preduction models of these two models. The Australian label Apex Replicas had announced the STCC version of the S60 already last year. see here

Here are all the news I was told about in alphabetical order :

BoS-Models

This 1:18 scale Volvo PV445 Duett is for sure another great surprise and I bet many will be glad to add this model one day to their showcase.

1:18
  • Volvo PV445 Duett - blue over white over blue with red & white interior
Kalee

electric ride one
  • Volvo C70 - item # KL7005
This electric ride on is not a newly produced and/or announced model. I have presented this model back in 2012 click here.


Minichamps

Minichamps has a rather nice surprise by announcing a classic Volvo in 1:18 : the Volvo 240 GL. Minichamps will produce beside this newly tooled model a few longtime known 1:43 models in new colors.  But what about release dates? How long are we already waiting for the fourth color of the Volvo P1800ES in 1:18? Way too many years in my eyes.

1:18
  • 1986  Volvo 240 GL - green metallic - item # 155171400
  • 1986  Volvo 240 GL - red - item # 155171401

1:43
  • 1969  Volvo P1800 Coupe - light blue - item # 430171682
  • 1971  Volvo P1800 ES - yellow - item # 430171672
  • 1986  Volvo 240 GL - red   item 400171404
  • 1986  Volvo 240 GL estate - red metallic - item # 400171415

here.
Motorart

Motorart has not completely stopped to offer Volvo cars. They have announced the Volvo V60 Polestar as well as the Volvo S60 STCC in various versions. The photos do show so far only pre-production models!

1:10
  • 2015  Volvo S60 STCC R/C race car model
1:14
  • 2015  Volvo S60 STCC R/C race car model - item # 7600012 (A detailed scale model in scale 1:14. A quality die cast scale model with realistic and accurately replicated features and details just like the real machine. A collectors item, not suitable for children under 14 years of age)
1:43
  • 2015  Volvo V60 Polestar - rebel blue - item # 300068 (A detailed scale model in scale 1:43. A quality die cast scale model with realistic and accurately replicated features and details just like the real machine. A collectors item, not suitable for children under 14 years of age)
  • 2015  Volvo S60 STCC race car - rebel blue item # 300069 (A detailed scale model in scale 1:43. A quality die cast scale model with realistic and accurately replicated features and details just like the real machine. A collectors item, not suitable for children under 14 years of age)
Neo Scale Models

Neo Scale Models has presented only the Volvo 145 Polis which has already been manufactured and delivered to shops. But this doesn't mean anything. Their new company policy to announce models only when they are nearly finished and ready to be shipped to retailers and shops.

1:43
  • Volvo 145 Polis model - item # NEO49523 (already announced back in December 2014 and already available in stores)
Norev

Norev has presented three known models in new colors. It's quite a shame that their communication is very poor.

1:43
  • Volvo P1800 in red with black interior - new color
  • Volvo XC70 in electric silver metallic - new color
  • Volvo S80 in savile gray metallic with black interior - new color

Oxford Diecast

The British company Oxford Diecast has presented their first Volvo scale car. They have already a small number of modern Volvo trucks in their program. The first Volvo car they will offer is the classic 1st generation Volvo 245 estate. The model will be available in the very British scale of 1:76 which railroad modelers often call OO Gauge. The first color will be green.
It might be in stock between April 2015 & June 2015. More color schemes will follow at a later date.

1:76 /
OO Gauge
  • Volvo 245 Mkl - green - item # 76VE001
