Playsam has however produces a very limited and especially decorated batch of this model for Volvo's Vista (Volvo International Service Training Award) program. It has been given to a limited number of participants of this years Vista program. I have not been able find out how many of these have been produced and distributed. But I can tell that it will hard for the scale model collector to be able to add of those to their own collection.

3/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Volvo's merchandising department has announced that they will offer two new models. These models are an minimalist as well as elegant interpretation of Volvo's actual design language. Both models will be made by Playsam. The design of both models is by Drop Innovation, a design company based in Barcelona, Spain. Volvo's merchandising department seems to offer both models only in black. But Playsam will offer both models also in red as well as in white. Volvo will offer each model for €62.70 incl tax. Playsam has not yet revealed their sale tag. Volvo and Playsam also give slightly different lengths for each model. I will try to find out who is right and who isn't.

This Volvo PV544 is made of a metal base a plastic body. The model is 70mm long, weights 70gr  and is available in the following standard colors : black, maroon red, midnight blue and white. The price for one model is 12,86 €. But you can also profit from the offer : Buy one and get two.

They have done - just for fun - four special decorated models:
  • black with golden radiator and key-chain
  • white with golden radiator and key-chain
  • midnight blue with golden radiator and key-chain
  • carbon-look with regular key-chain
