 Editions Atlas has launched at the end of last year a test in Sweden for a 1:8 plastic kit of a Volvo 122S Amazon. The final built up model will be a stunning 56cm long! This kit is made out of diecast as well as plastic parts. The model will also feature working parts as for example real working lights. The photos on the flyer tell it all and do show all the parts and gifts which will come with the first shipments. This field tests has been launched by Editions Atlas to check if there is enough positive feedback among customers old and new for such a model. This large scale kit might be offered in a couple months by Editions Atlas on their website(s) if the test will be well received by customers in Sweden . Similar and previous kits normally consisted of 100 to 120 parts bag shipped to customers. Some don’t like it because it will take you quite some time before you will be able to show your finished model in your home and/or office. But it procures you also the opportunity to build yourself a model kit if you have never wanted to built one yourself or if you have been afraid that you may not be handy enough to finish one correctly and properly. But these kits are way easier to built since each bag only contains a handful of parts which can be easily assembled after receiving them. You will bet able to construct this Volvo Amazon 122S in small steps by following the assembly instructions which comes with each parts bag. Similar large scale kits have already bee offered and released by Editions Atlas, Editions Altaya as well as Eagle Moss. They included among others:
Tests which have not been released and commercialized included the:
I will write an update on minivolvo.lu if this newly announced by Editions Atlas will be officially released or buried among some other tests.

The Dutch company Laika Vintage Scale Cars has just finished producing two Volvo sale models. These handmade models are one-offs made most of he time to order. Their scale is 1:8 and they consist mainly out of brass, copper, wood, real leather, .... Laika Vintage has reproduced this time a Volvo ÖV4 and a ÖV4 pickup decorated for the Swedish phone company 'Telegrafverket' as it has been used back in the 1930's. You can purchase one of these models if you are willing to accept the bill which lies between 1500 and 2000 €. Laika Vintage has already built back in 2008 a Volvo ÖV4 Jakob.
