First off CONGRATS on getting this new AMAZING Norev Boxster!!

This model really is showing that Norev is BIG TIME going for Minichamps by undercutting them on price, but detailing on or beyond their level. I wouldn't be surprised if these were a collaboration between both companies? 🤔

Man, this model was so tempting, but I had to do a couple of pre-orders before it and Grey would be my color of choice, but this red is looking AMAZING under a sunny Spring Michigan day! Awwww... Nice shots Stefanus! Seriously beautiful and the model looks so good, like Norev keeps elevating themselves..

Curious, did you make those plates or did these come on the model?

Man, it's teh French who are saving the 1/18th scale diecast game in Europe. I wonder why did so many German companies drop off? It seems like a few are clawing back, but Norev is WINNING IMO, because they are doing AMAZING highly detailed pieces like this, which don't break the bank. Solido on their heels in a segment lower, we are living in a good era to be addicted to miniature cars of nearly all scales! Literally a "French Revolution" on the diecast front! 🇫🇷 🇩🇪

Congrats again Stefanus! This is truly a gem. Andy Xu, right? I think that I had seen him announce this some weeks ago? Looks like you were the first to bite and it looks like a delicious catch!😊🤗CHEERS!🥂
 
Thanks Dave, glad you liked it! Norev truly is on the roll and they clearly have been listening to their customer base. They keep releasing desirable models that it's getting harder and harder not to buy everything they make (don't get me started on the W123 / W124 🤤).

This Spyder RS is no exceptions.... The craftmanship and details are really top notch and the model itself felt premium.

And yea... it was a nice sunny day here in Michigan. So I decided to take some outdoor shots. Too bad the grass isn't green enough for these type of photos.

The license plates came with the car that way.

I ended up getting this from Small Ants since Andy wasn't sure about how to handle the US-Tariffs situation (another conversation, but this one came without any tariffs charged to me).
Whew! That is good to know that you were able to get yours in without tariffs! Also, glad to know that it actually feels premium! Nice addition! I'll probably be adding grey when they hit Europe. Cheers! 😊
