Norev 1:18 models

[SXi Lad]

Anyone have any opinions on this manufacturer? As iv seen plenty on ebay asking for as little as £30-40 for what looks like a highly detailed model.

Generally they are quite good.

What model are you looking at?

[SXi Lad]

A black s5 coupe and a white capri

The Capri is a good model. The S5's are ok. Have a few detail issues IIRC. Suspension rides to high and paint finishes are not brilliant.

They supply the Porsche Drivers Design Shop with a lot of their models, so they ,must be good!
I have a 2009 model GT3 and it's great quality.

Ive got a Norev Clio Williams & it seems to be good quality.

But they also supply a lot of partsworks models which are terrible quality.

The 911 is one of the better models , but way off Minichamps and AUTOart.

At Birmingham modelzone Saturday i had a good look at some Norev models.

The Murcielago LP-670-4-SV looks excellent. Less than half the price of AUTOart's , certainly not half the model though. Came away with a Kyosho Audi R8 , but i will be getting one of these on the next visit.

Bit of a thread resurrection - I've just inherited some Citroen DS models (Cab, Estate (Break) with a roof rack and a couple more) 5 in total. I'm not really a fan of them but does anyone know a good place to sell them? They are 1:18th scale and very good quality, even have the 'working' air suspension (manually operated).
