The Volvo's are based on modified models by Motorart. Each model is made with customized water-slide decals, light-bars as well as other details.

You might have noticed that one model is noted as sold out. But you can order another model if you like to have the same.

My objection is that these models have on issue: these are all right-hand steered scale models but they drive on the left side of the road in Singapore! This is due to its British colonial history which led to British driving rules being adopted.
A guy in Great Britain offers some left-hand conversions for modern Volvo scale models but I guess the guy behind Singapore Scale Models is not aware of this.

Volvo V60 Volvo Ocean Race by Motorart

10/22/2011

0 Comments

 
The Volvo V60 'VOR' ( Volvo Ocean Race) by Motorart  is already in the stores for several weeks but I received mine only a few days ago.The paint is great with just two tiny dust spots. The window frames fit well.
My model was however not well assembled. There was a gap between the rear body and the rear bottom spoiler ( see the last picture ). After pulling apart the model to fix the wrong assembly, I saw that the steering wheel is much to low by even touching the seat. And one of the side mirrors is also not correctly mounted.
It has also a lot of tiny light round spots on the bottom.

These are in the end not big issues. But since the price tag goes up steadily, the quality should also improve.

The model sells for ± 33€.
