NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
Matrix Scale Models has just published the first pictures of the upcoming Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' stretched limousine. The shortcut TE stands for Top Executive. It was initially scheduled to be released in the third quarter but it seems that it will now be available in the second quarter of 2013. The model will be available under item # MX12106-023 for around 80 €. It seems that it will be a limited edition of only 312 units. The proportions of the cars looks really good and the model represents well the limousine from the first batch. I do ignore if the model on the photos below will be released as such or if it is still a pre-production model. I have however discovered several tiny errors : - the dark blue painted cars had a dark blue upholstery and never a black one - the chrome around the side windows seems less shiny than the rest of the chromed trim - the chrome of the door handles seems less shiny than the rest of the chromed trim - the flags are a little bit to high ( the pole is too long ) - the flags are not located on the correct place : they were situated more on the outer side of the headlights - the model features optional front fog lamps under the front bumper ( I do ignore if many featured this option ) Source & copyright : matrixscalemodels.com

Hi there, very interesting comments on this model, and very nice website indeed. I own a 1977 264TE (former Swedish Embassy in Rome) which is dark blue with light blue/grey velour interiors. No fog lamps and no police-style light, of course. That model is up for pre-order on ebay now, and I'd buy that if corrections were available (especially chromes and interiors). Thanks for your time
