The director of Matrix Scale Models revealed me yesterday evening a scoop. They will release the Volvo 264 which the Swedish coach-builder Nillson (Yngve Nilsson Karosseri) built as a Landaulette for the former DDR-Deutsche Demokratische Republik (German) or German Democratic Republic (English). He was very kind and had three photos attached to his email. This very rare car has never been done before as a scale model. This 1:43 scale model will be made of resin. It is painted black and features a beige interior. You can already pre-order it at your local dealer under item number MX42106-011. The retail price will be around 80 €. Only 408 units will be made of this really rare Volvo. It will be available next September. Source & copyright : matrixscalemodels.com

ModelCarWorld has released this week the second Volvo model under their own label WhiteBox. The first was a light blue metallic Volvo 144. The new release is a Volvo PV444. This 1:43 scale model is made in China by IXO. The diecast model of this PV444 is painted dark red which seems to be pretty close to the original Volvo paint called metallic red/wine red (21). The car features a light gray interior. And they put even white wall tires on this car. This is a limited edition run of 1008 pieces. The model is available for 21.95 € under item number 194601. The car is packed in a white and black cardboard window box. The same Volvo PV444 has previously been available in various colors and packaging versions as well as under different brands and labels. Source & copyright : modelcarworld.de The number forty-five in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 480 Turbo convertible. This car has officially never passed the phase of a prototype. The convertible was announced to the press in summer of 1987, but has not been seen in public until the 1990 Geneva Motor Show. The Volvo 480 convertible was planned to be launched at the beginning of 1991. But it did not make production after a supplier declared bankruptcy. A handful of prototypes had been built and some still do exist today. You will fond more background infos in the following two quotes.

DeAgostini has just announced to offer a third Volvo scale model in a partwork collection called 'Kultowe Auta PRL'. The name of the collection means 'cult cars of PRL' during the socialist years in Poland. The third Volvo will be a 4-door Amazon. It will be painted light yellow and will feature a black interior. This 1:43 scale diecast model will be made by Ixo in China. The third Volvo will be model number 160 in that collection. It will be available starting from the fifteenth of October, 2014. Slight delays are a common issue with all these partwork series. You will be able to get this model for 21.90 PLN ( ~5.50 € ) in news-stand and other shops offering magazines and newspapers in Poland. The first Volvo model in this collection was a blue Volvo 343 (N°149) and the second was a dark green Volvo 144 (N°153). The last has been released only a week ago. The official release date has been the ninth of July, 2014. Source & copyright : kultoweauta.pl

I received today the first photos of the all new Volvo 264 TE model which Matrix Scale Models is expecting to release mid August. This model will be offered in dark blue with a gray interior instead of a black one as I announced it earlier this year (see here). But I still regret that Matrix Scale Models hasn't chosen to reproduce their 1:43 scale model with either a light gray or blue interior. Those two upholstery colors were by far the most common tints. This will be nevertheless a great reproduction of this rather rare Volvo model of the late Seventies. The 1:43 scale model will be made of resin. The item number is MX12106-021. You can already pre-order this limited edition scale model at your dealer. Source & copyright : matrixscalemodels.com
Here are a few photos of a 1:1 Volvo 264 TE from 1976 which I was recently able to photograph in the Netherlands. The car is painted blue and has the light gray interior. |
