WOW, Impressive .....

I'm very impressed! It's one thing to do this with plastic models but working with a diecast is a different task. Great job!

Thank you for your comments, my friends !!??

Very competent conversion to make a very unique model. Brilliant work Michael.

The standard Volvo Amazon is a very nice looking  car in its own right too.

 

Just out of casual interest Ixo Collections make a 1/8th scale kit of the Amazon that looks really good.

Looks damn cool... Love it... These Volvos would also make cool gasers or "led sleds".
