Brekina has just announced that they have produced a new run of the Volvo Amazon models which has been offered since 2002. Each of the three body versions (2-door, 4-door and estate) are each offered in two new color combos. The new releases are available in new color combos and are offered in Brekina's top of the line product range called TD which stands for Top Decoration. It is just a shame that Brekina does not provide more correct paint schemes.

Brekina's new flyer shows also four already known models which include the two Volvo Duett versions (#29311 & #29317) as well as the Volvo 144 (#29407) and 145 (#29453) model.

A model of the actual Volvo V60 is available as scale model in Japan. This model is an official merchandise product from Volvo. The small scale model is made of plastic and measures 60.1 mm long, 23.7 mm width and 17.7 mm high. This means that the model is slightly larger than a H0 ( 1:87 ) model. The model comes packed in a small white window box. The scale model features also pull back action.
I was pretty luck to get an example via an avid Dutch Volvo collector. A model of the Volvo V40 is also available (click here). I just have no clue why Volvo isn't offering any of these models in the rest of the world. Please let us know if you have any further info's regarding this new scale model. Link: volvocars.com/jp

A great source for infos about the Volvo P1800 is the website volvo1800pictures.com The latest run of the Volvo V40 in H0 (1:87) by JMK is now ready. You can buy it here at minivolvo.lu. JMK did the first run of the Volvo V40 (model year 1996) back in 2005. It was one of his first kits. This run has been made since one guy asked on Facebook if an H0 model of this specific Volvo existed. Shortly after a couple of guys pronounced as well their interest for this scale model. And just a few weeks later a V40 of the last run could be yours now.
The Volvo V40 (1996) by JMK is made out of resin. The kit consist of an unpainted body, the bottom-plate with the interior, glazing, wheels with metal axles and a round profile for fixing the axles to the bottom-plate. The retail price is 20 € per model. Shipping at actual costs. I do not charge you handling fees. |
