Brekina has enlarged their product range by adding a few new liveries to their Volvo P210 Duett lineup. All of the six new liveries are offered in Brekina's top of the line range called "Top Decoration" (TD). Most noticeable are surely the three Duett panel vans with liveries featuring Swedish companies.

BoS-Models has announced end of Mai a H0 replica of the Volvo P1900 Sport. The 1:87 scale model will be made out of resin model with no moving or opening parts. BoS-Models has released a photo of the P1900 finished in blue with white interior. I can't tell you if this photo shows the final production model or a pre-production hand-sample. But you can be sure that BoS-Models will release further paint schemes in the future. A precise release date is not yet known. You will have to spent € 19.95 for being able to add it to your scale model collection. You will be able to order it directly from ModelCarWorld's web-shop. I am personally looking forward to this model and I really hope that it will be a proper replica of the original car. The P1900 is one of the few Volvo models not well known by the grand public. It was and still is a very lovely design and it is a shame that production ceased after only 68 built cars. The P1900 had, as did the Corvettes, a body made out of polyester. The body was reinforced with fiberglass and was mounted on a tubular-steel chassis.  Wiking is now offering the first release of their newly tooled Volvo Amazon 4-door model. This Volvo Amazon represents a model from 1957. Volvo produced the Amazon from 1957 to 1970. This new H0 (1:87) model comes painted in black (Volvo color code 19) and is fitted with a red interior (trim code 15-113). This Amazon comes otherwise with the very sames features which Wiking has already fitted to the previously released Volvo Amazon 2-door model. This new model is available under item number 022802 (EAN code 4006190228022). I'm still waiting for my models to arrive. I will write an in-depth article as soon as I have 'em.  Quote from Brekina's website: The polished four-door Swede with red upholstered seats Most of you being scale model enthusiast have probably followed the news from this years toy show in Nürnberg (Germany). Well my article is not yet finished but I can offer you a tiny teaser. Most companies do offer each year a scale model from their program range as a limited edition to their clients visiting them ant their booths in Nürnberg. Most wear the logo of the Nürnberg toy show and feature especially decorated boxes and/or dedicated and labeled bases. This year is of course no exception but we rarely see a Volvo among those limited editions. Wiking however has produced this year the Volvo PV544 in H0 (1:87) in a limited edition of only 750 units for this years toy fair. The Volvo PV544 i painted white and features a red interior. The car has the toy fair logo printed in red on both sides doors and the window box has a red base with the text "Limited Edition" written next to the logo. It is not the fanciest model around but some people do love to collect those limited editions. And sometimes prices can go up in time for these models. But I wouldn't bet on it. Up to you if you think that this is a must-have.   The Swiss wholesaler and importer Arwico has released at the end of last year a set of a Volvo 144 and Volvo 145 as used by the Swiss Cantonal Police forces of Basel (Kantonalpolizei Baselland). The first duo consists of specially decorated plastic models made by Brekina. These H0 (1:87) models are offered in a specially decorated window cardboard box. This first set is offered for CHF 39.90 incl. VAT (± € 37/ ± $ 39). Arwico did not want to reveal me how many sets have and/or will be offered. I was told that they normally don't share this kind of info. Arwico sells this set only in Switzerland. Their item number is 52.92957 and Brekina's item number is BRK 92957. Two more sets will follow this year:
A precise release date has not yet been communicated. Set # 52.92957 – Kantonalpolizei Baselland (Cantonal Police Baselland) As you can see from the above photos showing the original Police cars not every detail has been fitted to the scale models. It would have preferred to see Arwico going to the very end and finalizing further details. Brekina has already produced some very exiting as well detailed cars. My educated guess is that the budget reasons have limited the amount of details. Upcoming sets:

JMK is about to finish a run for H0 (1:87) kits of the Volvo V60 as well as the Volvo V60. I posted a tiny teaser earlier this month but nobody was able to find out. The kits will be made out of resin and you will have to assemble and paint them. Each of the very clean kits will be available for € 24 & shipping costs. You can reserve yours by sending an email to JMK.
You can also order and buy these and other Volvo models made by JMK at dutchart-models.nl.
Catch a glimpse at these two upcoming models ....
I will give away a free model to the first one who can tell me the model, the scale as well as the manufacturer of these two models.
The Volvo C303 and Volvo C304 are not really properly standard cars. So I normally wouldn't present this type of Volvo model here on minivolvo. But I have decided to make an exception and to post this new release right here since these Volvo light utility vehicles are a pretty rare sight among the scale model world. The German manufacturer Arsenal-M is specialized in H0 (1:87) military models. They have added this week both Volvo models to their standard model program. The Volvo C303 and C304 are kits made out of resin. The overall quality of these kits is extremely high and they are not intended for children. The target group for this kind of kits is the experienced modeller seeking to have a perfect miniature of the real thing. Volvo produced a total of 8718 units between 1974 and 1984. Three basic versions were available:
Arsenal-M offers this very boxy Volvo in two versions:
VOLVO C303 4x4 with portal axles and closed cab VOLVO C304 6x6 with portal axles and closed cab
This production run is already the fourth batch in total :
