^ I want to make a replica of my mom's car.

SsupP?!?!? well, all i know is that tamiya made an 850 estate kit, but it's kinda hard to find.

I'm talking a sedan.

I have an article about a converted race sedan into a civil car, but it's not an easy task (required replacing the front bumper). Now unless you're quite advanced in making models (are you?), I wouold suggest shelving this idea for a while.

If you still decide to do it, I can get you both the sedan race model (24168) and the estate street version (24152) that you will need a lot of parts from (basically, the whole chassis and then some!) if you're prepared to wait for a coulple of months for it and pay the cost of kits plus shipping from here to the US. But it will not be cheap.

Meh, nevermind. It would only be my 5th or so model.

OK, but o give you all an idea, here's the pic from the article.

In 1/24 there were the kits from Italeri and Revell of the `83 760GLE Turbo Intercooler.It even had the 2.3 4-cy. engine.

The one on the left is perfect. Is that the converted one?

The real one:

You're welcome, but I can't because:

a) it's not on the net, it's in a Word document (don't ask!)

b) it's in Russian anyway

c) there are no in-progress pics

But yes, the black one is the one that has a modified street wagon chassis and front bumper.

Dunno if this helps:

ebay seller "hobbyheaven" (;)) has a bunch of Volvo promo models for sale... most seem to be 1/20 scale...
