This is my Volvo Amazon Hillclimbracer made from the Revell 1/18th diecast model.

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.
