Have a friend who's hobby is turning old Volvos into sleepers.  I'll have to get one for him.

Thanks for flagging this for me (!), but I'm more an Amazon fan.

And where is a SAAB 900?

 

[PiperguyUMD]

YES!  TURBO BRICKS!  Let me know when there's an S60R!

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Awesome!
Although I'm still waiting for the late model 245.

Ah Volvo, the slowest thing on the road... and so distinctive.

I love the look on the unsuspecting Mustang driver's face when I dust them in My S60R

I recently had a double-take:  I saw a Volvo which had a bar-of-soap look just like all the other generic-looking cars on the roads.  It was a Volvo!  So much for a different look.  That is now gone too.

Like this:


It is 1:43 scale but maybe Rasputin could shrink mold it down to 1:160. . .   

[tehachapifan]

Those do look nice and I see it says they're 1:160, which I appreciate since the lines between 1:160 and 1:150 seem to be blurring more and more all the time.

It says they used Micro Krystal Klear for the windows on the samples. I wish I knew how to achieve results like that as I always seem to get that shrunk-in-the-middle, concave look. Whereas, they got a nice, even convex shape. I've even tried letting the model dry upside down without much success.

[chrismears]

Thanks for pointing these out.

I love the Volvo 240's. I've owned several 245's over the years and I'd sure like another. Perhaps another tangerine orange 245DL like my first with. Boy, do I ever miss that car.

Thanks

Thats the one.  I grew up riding in and driving the 2 door version, which Brekina has done at various points in HO

Ah, the one you want is available in H0 - that makes things even easier. 1-step shrinking process.  PM Rasputin and see if he would be interested in adding it to his selection of models.  It fits the period he is covering.
