Volvo 240T Photo Etched Detail Set 1:24 by Beemax
Volvo 240T Photoetched Detail Set
Made to fit Beemax kit AOS09825
While the BMWs, Rovers, Sierras and Jaguars are all well-known machines from 1980s touring car racing the Volvos are often overlooked, but in 1985 Brancatelli and Lindstrom thumped the opposition in the ETC and occasional teammates Muller and Dieudonne backed them up with 1-2 finishes on three occasions. The following year at Macau it was a 1-3 finish, Cecotto in the winning car and Lindstrom 3rd. All four decal options are offered in this well thought out kit. The parts are to make a kerbside model but there is still plenty of detail for the cockpit and the chassis, the latter including brake ducting and loads of small suspension parts. The bumpers are moulded separately to simplify painting and from the box this looks like an enjoyable build. For those wishing to add a little extra detail, the instructions include placement information for the optional etched parts and these include a Fuel tank cover, radiator and oil cooler shrouds, wipers, various fasteners and seat belt furniture with ribbon for the belts.
