NEW RELEASES

You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released.

Volvo 480 Turbo USA by Editions Atlas

7/1/2013

18 Comments

 
One of the upcoming models in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas will be a Volvo 480 Turbo USA. I have announced this model for the first time nearly a month ago. I can present you now the first photos of this scale model. The photos are showing a hand-painted preproduction model. The final model will only be available at the end of this year.
Volvo had the intention to offer the 480 on the US-market but the car never made it across the Atlantic ocean. One reason were unfavourable currency exchange rates back in the second half of the 1980's.

Hi Mr. Atlas,

Sorry to see that you plan to make another 480.
We already have a blue model and there are so many other models that we'd prefer.
We'd rather have the cabrio prototype than 2 almost the same models.
And again it is a red model. Volvo did make cars in other colours :-)

Thanks
Ben

Hi everybody,

I really understand your opinion, it's the last one in red... yellow, blue, silver, green, beige, white are coming, with brand new moulds.

And SCOOP the 480 cabrio is coming too !

As I already explain, you will understand that using some existing tools also help us to keep our low prices compare of the high quality of this collection and to continue to invest in interesting new tools as the 244, 480 Cabrio or the V40 for example.
We also had a time problem to develop new toolings for the added models, so we had to use what was easy to modify.

On the next 15 models, we'll have the announced Police cars, the Prinz Gustav 1800ES, and the US 480 (which has new bumpers and specifications) using part of existing tooling, all the other will be new.

And if we still have enough success with those new added models, the collection will continue with your suggestions.

Hi Mr. Atlas,

Thanks for sharing your ideas on the future of the Volvo Collection.
I think it is rare in the industry that a producer is listening to its clients so well.
We do appreciate that very much.
Amongst the collectors of Volvo models there is a huge knowledge of everything Volvo produced. Please feel free to contact us if in doubt of a colour or any part of a model that you plan to make.
We like to have miniatures that are as accurate as possible. When you have to make new moulds, they'd better be 100% :-)

Being French and having no possibility to me Subscribe to this collection, thanks to two people oh so caring and I thank greatly here, I can take possession as and when this collection. This "volvo collection" is a priceless collection to me simply by it's precisely and accurately in a series devoted to my favorite car brand. Each new model that will enrich this collection will be a gift. Of course, it's important to find some models that until now have never been reproduced, but it is not the principal, or that the quality and accuracy of the models are perfect. Do not forget that we are in the presence of a "series press" and that this inevitably involves some "errors or defects". This does not mean accepting everything and anything! I could develop later if necessary.
