Volvo 850R Turbo Wagon
Recently resurrected from a botched paint job from 20 years ago when the kit was new. The red was stripped off and the model reshot with a decanted mixture of Testors Daytona Yellow and Wimbledon White though my Grex w/their new fan tip nozzle (which works incredibly well). Tamiya German Gray was used for interior and trim. Wheels are AVS Model 5 on Fujimi disc brakes, suspension lowered slightly.
Not a true replica of a T5R, more a tribute to it using the stock 850 R Turbo wagon kit.

Re: Volvo 850R Turbo Wagon
Nice build Bob. I owned a standard T5 for several years, surprisingly quick. Good work.

Spent yesterday making a roof rack for it; used 2 of the Fujimi kits because I wanted 2 bikes. Was able to incorporate the narrow roof box. I had to use styrene strips for the cross bars because the ones in the Fujimi box were too short to fit the Volvo roof rack. It's all removable too.

Re: Volvo 850R Turbo Wagon
Looks great, Bob, especially the update! I like the custom front license plate - a cool detail, just like the Swedish flag that Volvo incorporates in the seat piping of the XC90.

Re: Volvo 850R Turbo Wagon
Great stuff. Love the 850 (both Volvo and BMW
 ), and yours came out terrific. Even better that it's a redo. I always kinda regretted not getting one of these years ago when they were still easy to find- this build does nothing to alleviate that!
