NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
![]() The Bulgarian company Griffin Models which is well known for her excellent Saab scale models has decided to do also models of the other Swedish car maker – Volvo. Their first project will be the Volvo VESC. This model has never been offered before. The Volvo VESC – Volvo Experimental Safety Car was a safety vehicle which was built back in 1972. Many features of that car served as base for the 200 series. The 1:43 scale model will be made of resin. It is not yet clear if the model will be offered as kit, as rtr model or in both versions. My guess is that a small run of rtr models will be offered. Prices are not yet given since this depends largely on the final number of parts needed for making this model. Personal note : I can tell from my personal experience that the kits offered by Griffin Models are of a remarkable quality. I received last year a kit of the Saab 900 Enduro "Steroid Poppin' Swede" and I was positively surprised. We can expect a highly detailed model. Background infos regarding the Volvo VESC :
40 YEARS SINCE VESC WAS SHOWN – STARTED SAFETY FOCUS ERA AT VOLVO The list of VESC safety lots of new technology: airbags for all passengers, crash activated head restraints, anti-lock brakes, protective beams in doors, built-in roll-over bar, telescopic bumpers, headlamp washers/wipers, reversing camera, the latter a feature which the US authorities is about to make compulsory through legislation.
