Volvo Amazon 4-door by Wiking

3/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Wiking is now offering the first release of their newly tooled Volvo Amazon 4-door model. This Volvo Amazon represents a model from 1957. Volvo produced the Amazon from 1957 to 1970. This new H0 (1:87) model comes painted in black (Volvo color code 19) and is fitted with a red interior (trim code 15-113). This Amazon comes otherwise with the very sames features which Wiking has already fitted to the previously released Volvo Amazon 2-door model. This new model is available under item number 022802 (EAN code 4006190228022).
I'm still waiting for my models to arrive. I will write an in-depth article as soon as I have 'em.

news from Nürnberg: Volvo PV544 by Wiking

2/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Most of you being scale model enthusiast have probably followed the news from this years toy show in Nürnberg (Germany).
Well my article is not yet finished but I can offer you a tiny teaser. Most companies do offer each year a scale model from their program range as a limited edition to their clients visiting them ant their booths in Nürnberg. Most wear the logo of the Nürnberg toy show and feature especially decorated boxes and/or dedicated and labeled bases. This year is of course no exception but we rarely see a Volvo among those limited editions.
Wiking however has produced this year the Volvo PV544 in H0 (1:87) in a limited edition of only 750 units for this years toy fair. The Volvo PV544 i painted white and features a red interior. The car has the toy fair logo printed in red on both sides doors and the window box has a red base with the text "Limited Edition" written next to the logo.
It is not the fanciest model around but some people do love to collect those limited editions. And sometimes prices can go up in time for these models. But I wouldn't bet on it. Up to you if you think that this is a must-have.

Volvo Amazon by Wiking

11/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Wiking has announced after many many years a completely new engineered Volvo model. Wiking will release a two-door Volvo Amazon later this year in December. The model will be made out of plastic. The first release will be available in pearl white and will feature a red interior. It will be offered under item number 022801 (EAN 4006190228015) The first photo of the H0 (1:87) model also shows that the Amazon will be fitted with white wall tires. Wiking mentions that their Amazon model is reflecting model year 1956. This is in fact good news since Brekina's Volvo Amazon reflects the later versions from the 1960's.

Wiking seems to have also a four-door version of the Volvo Amazon in their production pipeline. So good news for the H0 car fans.

Here you can see a photo of the pre-production model showed earlier this year at the Toy Fair in Nürnberg.
