 Herpa has finally released the second production run of their Volvo P1800 model. This dark red metallic paint scheme is already the third color variant for the P1800 offered by Herpa. The H0 scale model is now available under item number 034906-002. The official retail price is 10.50 €. This H0 (1:87) scale model is made of plastic.
I'm however disappointed to see that Herpa has chosen to offer their scale model in a red paintwork which has never been offered by Volvo. The Volvo P1800 was available in two different red shades. The paint codes were red # 70 and red # 46. The tint offered by Herpa doesn't come close to one of these two red shades. The reason for this wrong paint is a screwed up paint code before the model went into production. Herpa discovered their mistake but it was already way too late to switch over to a more correct color.

These are in fact the same models Herpa is offering for 10.50 €.
Volvo is in fact asking 38.70 € for one model. It's up to you to decide whether those little white boxes are worth the 28 € or not. And no ... it's not April 1st yet. Volvo's merchandising department is offering two new 1:87 scale models. This is indeed a surprise to see that Volvo is now also offering H0 models in their web-shop. They are starting with the Volvo P1800 in light blue and the Volvo P1800 ES in gold metallic. Both models are fixed on a black plastic base. Herpa, and not Norev as I initially wrote, is producing these plastic scale models. I do not know who had the fabulous idea to take regular Herpa models and to sell them for three times the regular retail price. They take us for a bunch of idiots.
!!! Please do not buy these models from Volvo's web-shop. They are way too expensive !!! Sources & copyright :
