2019 - 2023 Norev News

I know that a red Italian model is a rather predictable choice, but it's likely to be my option when it arrives.
I have the white AUTOart, and this will make a nice addition.

The Volvo P1800s are available on some shops here in the US: 1969 Volvo 1800 S Medium Blue 1/18 Diecast Model Car by Norev







I don't plan on replacing my fully opening Minichamps ES with this one, but the blue S looks very nice, just a shame that it's sealed.

The 2.8 Capri returns in right hand drive in a nice metallic grey.
I would dearly love to get one of these, but just can't see past the inaccurate roof line at the top of the doors, and the odd shape of the scuttle.

I wondered if anyone else caught this from the Norev instagram account during the Nuremburg Toy fair. They posted a story video, and it showed for a quick moment on screen a prototype of the 992 GT3 RS. Check it out! (I hope I can link to the screencapture I posted to FB here)

You mean this? (Courtesy of diecast society ) And check out that M3 CSL in the back..

Strange, I've never noticed inboard front wheels on my M3 from Kyosho... Nevertheless, a decent CSL with opening parts is always good news!

I had my eyes on the limited edition green 964 Norev released this week (apparently sold out already) and stumbled upon this outrageously priced listing on Ebay. At first I thought someone's got their hands on the LE prior to the release, then noticed it's one of 300 while the one on Norev's website is limited to 200, and the lovely color combo of Oak Green over tan interior vs the uninspiring black... Yup, Norev did it again, it's one of God knows how many retailer limited editions. Premium-modelcars has 2, Modelissimo has some and you need to have a PhD to know what's available where because Norev's not there to help Meanwhile the silver 992 GT3 I wanted to add is still only available on Ebay from some Chinese sellers.

This is not the way Norev, this is really not the way... /rant mode off.

By the way, there's a nice color combo of P1800S on Modelissimo:



It's a pity this one is a closed shell... I've seen this car in this exact color combo in person, it's a sight to behold.

I'm reconsidering the P1800 ES already. The Minichamps has been one of my favorite models since I got it last year, but I think that's more because I love the 1:1 so much... looking at it again, the Norev looks like it has a better shape, the Minichamps looks kinda low and flattened. And Norev picked the right rims for it. Maybe I'll get both and do a comparison.

Available from tomorrow, online exclusive 964 targa and cabrio, 200 pcs each.. Unfortunately for me, they dont ship to my country... Oh, that targa ...
