The Nürnberg Toy Fair hasn't brought up many news this year. In fact not one new Volvo has been presented. The few new models have already been announced ahead of this years toy fair. Here is a short summary of all the upcoming models for 2013. BoS-Models - 1:18 Model Car World has announced a 1989 Volvo 245 GL which will be released under their newly created label BoS-Models. This shortcut stands for 'Best of Show'. The 1:18 scale model will be made of resin and only 1000 units will be exclusively produced for Model Car World by the French company OttOmobile. A precise release date is not yet known.
Matrix Scale Models - 1:43 The newly founded company Matrix Scale Models has also announced ahead of the Toy Fair three new and rather unusual Volvo models. These 1:43 scale cars will be made of resin and will only be available as rtr versions. A sale price has not yet been published but they seem to be released during the second and third quarter of 2013. The announced Volvo's are :
Minichamps - 1:43 & 1:18 Minichamps is finally at the point to release the two 1:43 scale Volvo 242 Turbo models. The first ( item # 400861701 ) is already available and the second ( item # 400851753 ) should follow this month. Another long awaited model - the P1800ES in 1:18 scale - should normally be released late this summer. Minichamps hasn't however announced any new Volvo models. Is this the end of an era ?
Neo Scale Models - 1:87A few sources say that Neo Scale Models will stop offering H0 models. But he following six models which have already been announced a long long time ago and are still listed on Neo's slightly redesigned website. Their facebook page has however been off-line for some days now.
Neo Scale Models - 1:43 cars All the following 1:43 scale models have also previously been announced. Only a few new colors and liveries have showed up on Neo's website. Precise release dates have not been published.
Neo Scale Models - 1:43 trucks Neo Scale Models has also announced several classic Volvo truck models. I was not yet able to find more infos about the exact model-years and truck types.
Premium-X - 1:43 Premium-X will release in the next weeks the four models they have already announced last summer. They are however to my surprise not even featured in their catalog for 2013. My guess is that more models already available in the 'Volvo Collection' will show up in the future as slightly improved versions in IXO's and/or Premium-X standard program.
We can certainly expect a few more Volvo scale models from other well known brands. I suppose that most will be only new colors and liveries. But we also learned from the past that one or the other surprise can show up at any given time. Don't hesitate to leave me a line if you should have seen any other model not yet listed or mentioned above.
The eighteenth model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo PV800. The models in the PV821/822 and PV831 range were designed to suit the needs of Taxi drivers. The models offered a large rear compartment with enough place for two foldings seats. This meant that up to seven people were able to take place in the car. The following links are showing a quick overview about the different versions in the PV800 range :
Minichamps has finally published a picture of the second announced 1:43 scale model of the Volvo 242 Turbo. This car by the 'Team IPS Racing' was driven by Peter Stureson in the 1986 DTM season. These models will be offered for around 55 €. Source & copyright : Minichamps
The seventeenth model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is indeed a red Volvo 740 Turbo. This release looks quite good on these photos.
The all new Volvo V40 Cross Country which has been presented as World Premiere at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris on September 27 is now available as 1:43 scale model. The 1:43 scale diecast model is already available at the show in Paris and here. You can choose between two different colors : raw copper metallic and electric silver metallic.

JMK will be producing a second run of the Volvo 480ES for the Dutch website dutchart-models.nl. The resin kit in 1:87 scale will be the same as the previous run which has been released back in 2009. So this is your chance to get one of these great kits. It is very unlikely that these will be produced by a regular manufacturer in the coming years. The price of the kit will be 21.85 €.
