Got this recently from Mint Models' Black Friday Sale. I was initially more interested in the "Martini" looking livery, but love this Oak Green Metallic. The first green 911 in my collection. Really well done model, like most of Norev's recent releases. Comes with a tool to move the lever underneath to raise or lower the suspension.
with my other 992s (GT3 Touring & GT3 RS, both by Norev)

WOW! Sharp car and EXCELLENT photos of the group!

Norev can be hit or miss. Their body tooling always seems accurately proportioned and in scale, but their level of detail can vary. This 911 looks really well done, congrats! That rear "hood" doesn't open?

That is a remarkably cool replica of this Porsche from Norev ! The green really looks good on this one and makes a fine counterpart to the white automobile.

Speaking of detail... For one, I like this model. I'd like to spend a weekend with a pin vise drilling out those discs and adding valve stems... Yeah, so much for my exciting life. 🤗 Chris, you open the "hood" whilst I tend to the wheels 👍

...sounds good Steve. As luck would have it, I am in fact working on "opening something" right now on another 1/18 Norev. Stay tuned, I hope to have some pics in a few days. 😏 🤓 🤔 🤓 🤔

WOW!!! That "Dakar" looks amazing. Norev has come a long way.

Thanks very much guys!

Very true about Norev, but most of their recent fully opening models (they also have fully sealed new releases) are very well detailed. Unfortunately, @chris, you're correct..like all Norev 992 generation 911s, the rear "hood" doesn't open. It is disappointing, but there is nothing to see there engine wise anyway (see below).

Is it my imagination, but even in the lowered suspension position, it seems to be riding a bit high. Still, it looks like a fine model.

Hard to tell from pics online, but this one looks to be in the lowered position. To me, it looks pretty close to the Norev.

Yup! I agree with the rest of the post-comments. It looks pretty spot-on to me!
