Karmodeler2 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I got a resin kit from Finland and it's a Volvo P1800 wagon. I am uncertain as to a donor kit that would work. Do any of you have an suggestions? I know you will probably ask me the wheel base and I'm in Ireland with my job and won't be back until the 14th, so I don't have the model with me. I do know that it is 1/24, but that probably won't help you that much. Thanks for any input. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 There aren't many Volvo kits around to donate from!! Opel GT? Datsun 510? I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 While it wouldn't be a donor, Revell made a 1:18 diecast of the P1800 coupe, which could serve as a starting point for 3-dimensional reference. Also, the wagon used a B20F engine which was a variant of an engine originally used on Volvo trucks – maybe our truck modelers here know of a kit that could donate the engine.

Zoom Zoom Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Dave, I have no idea where you might find that kind of stuff. You might be able to crib "period-similar" parts from the Opel GT or Sunbeam Tiger. Those Volvos look a lot like Ferraris...you don't necessarily have to build it stock, do you?

Karmodeler2 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Thanks guys for all the help. Mark, I am out on the road and don't have mine with me either....it might have a chassis plate with it....I can't remember...I know I have the ES. Sjordan2...that's a good point..I will check with the truck guys. Zoom Zoom....I don't have to build it stock and probably won't try and make it so. And Andy, I have the Tiger and I will look for the 510. Thanks for the advice. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
