curt raitz Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 While cleaning out the model cupboard, I came across a number of cars I had started and never got back to. Time to finish them or chuck'em...! I know I must started this Volvo Wagon from Tamiya at least 20 years ago. No idea where my head was at, but I threw in a Fujumi accessory kit in as well. This car was so close to being done, I had to finish it. Posting it for your enjoyment, then it will grace the pages of eBay. Thanx for looking' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It looks great, well done Curt. I used an 'already started' Volvo racing estate with a few bits missing, using the bike and scratchbuilding the rear rack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod3l Lover Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Curt, I like what you built there! I remember when Patrick did his (nice job Patrick) and I was thinkingthat I would like to find one of those around here. We don't have any well stocked hobby shops around here, Milwaukee is the closest for me.Great job to both of you for building a real sweet combo there!! David S.

espo Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Turned out great and the Bike and Tule storage unit look perfect. Almost a shame to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguar man 21 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 As a Volvo nut and a 850 owner I love it! I have two of these to build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Nice; hardly ever see these built. Mine had been painted around 20 years ago when the kit came out, sat in a box because paint job was bad. Finally finished it a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod3l Lover Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That one looks great too! How come, I wonder, that there can beso many built almost exactly the same way!?! Very cool guys!!! And I wish I had funds to be bidding on that green one. Well I canmaybe still find one when I do. David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx for looking' very nice, Curt - looks like you were on a vacation trip. Where did you get the bike from? was it included in the kit?

oldcarfan Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I love it. You have such a way of doing just the right stuff to make your models stand out! I'm a sucker for Volvos. We just bought an S70 for our son's first car and I drive a V50. I've been looking for this wagon kit for a while, but I'm not willing to pay the current price. I'll just keep holding out for a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthOz Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Nicely done! w/T5 wheels. The twist beam axle on these is pretty slick and the kit has it well detailed. The front sub-frame is massive. Any engine pics? The turbo I-5 looks awesome under the bonnet and sounds great @ WOT.
