Volvo TP21 by Editions Atlas

8/2/2015

The number fifty-nine in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo TP21. Volvo designed the TP21 to be an rugged, off-road radio communications vehicle (radiobil) for the Swedish Armed Forces. Because of its snout-like front end and rounded rear end, the vehicle was nicknamed "Sugga" meaning sow or mother pig in Swedish. Volvo offered the TP21 between 1953 and 1958. This 4x4 has become ever since a favorite amongst offroad fans around the world.
This is the very first time that a company is producing a scale model of the Volvo TP21 made out of diecast. This newly tooled 1:43 scale model is offered in the common military green paint. And it is loaded with all the standard exterior equipment which was so typical for the TP21.

Very good choice of EA! I can't wait. Unfortunately it will take a long time before they will arrive for Dutch customers... :-(

Very good model of the car a good friend of mine had private during military service around 1970. Great!

Hi Martin,

Good to hear that you're happy with the quality and finish of this model.
I'm sure that it will be a favorite among many Volvo fans and model collectors.

Great work Editions Atlas! To me this should appear in a couple of weeks, I can not wait!
Then we wait for the next militari vehicle. Valp, C303, or perhaps even Bandvagn? :-)

Thanks Volworine !

I would love to make a C303 or other, but they aren't Volvo cars, so we are not allowed to make them in this Volvo Car Collection... Volvo cars didn't allow us to mix cars and trucks.

But as we are working on a Volvo Trucks Collection, with Volvo Trucks, you can have some hope.

Why haven't I got anything in this Collection sinse september 2015 (and the SAAB Collection too)...???

Could it be the Post Office sent a model back without you knowing anything about it? That is what happened to me once. Then you have to contact Editions Atlas.
So far I have only got one Volvo and one SAAB model this year but there are many holes in my collections.

Dear Stefan,

You can find all the necessary info's at my page http://www.minivolvo.lu/volvocollection.html

You will need to subscribe to the complete collection to get this specific model.

Another option is waiting 'til Ixo will release the Volvo TP21 in their own model program.
