Norev models

Post by Titan7 » Tue Jan 30, 2018 11:45 pm

So perhaps this is a dumb question but how the heck does one get the plastic cage/ end pieces off the plastic display base on Norev 1:18 scale models? I can’t for the life of me get the end pieces off?

Also, are small scratches etc par for the course on these models. Looking at the Porsche 962

Thanks

Hi, welcome, can you post an image of the model itself?

Scratches, first on the gold/red pin stripe, second on the O of Porsche. It’s a Norev 962. Normal or is this too much?

I still don't understand the question. What are you trying to do?

As for the rough paint work, standard course at this price point. Some may be better executed than others.

I am just checking with you guys with much more experience if these type of flaws are normal on these models.

Its a hit and miss. I think it looks worse in the image based on zoom. If you're not buying your models at a brick and mortar location it is hard to choose the best available example. I think its fine.
