Volvo Amazon 122S in 1:8 by Editions Atlas

---

 Editions Atlas has launched at the end of last year a test in Sweden for a 1:8 plastic kit of a Volvo 122S Amazon. The final built up model will be a stunning 56cm long! This kit is made out of diecast as well as plastic parts. The model will also feature working parts as for example real working lights. The photos on the flyer tell it all and do show all the parts and gifts which will come with the first shipments.

This field tests has been launched by Editions Atlas to check if there is enough positive feedback among customers old and new for such a model. This large scale kit might be offered in a couple months by Editions Atlas on their website(s) if the test will be well received by customers in Sweden .

Similar and previous kits normally consisted of 100 to 120 parts bag shipped to customers. Some don’t like it because it will take you quite some time before you will be able to show your finished model in your home and/or office. But it procures you also the opportunity to build yourself a model kit if you have never wanted to built one yourself or if you have been afraid that you may not be handy enough to finish one correctly and properly. But these kits are way easier to built since each bag only contains a handful of parts which can be easily assembled after receiving them. You will bet able to construct this Volvo Amazon 122S in small steps by following the assembly instructions which comes with each parts bag.
