Norev did launch Mercedes-Benz 500E in various colours. But, for me, this one is the best looking colour so far. The quality and the level of details is in Norev style, very high. And Small Ants delivered this model to me fast and perfectly safe. Definitely I will buy again.
Very nice model. Definitely an improvement over the previous generation Camry model.
The interior in particular is more detailed in this ligt brown/caramel colour and the the champagne gold exterior is also lovely. An addition over the previous generation model are folding side mirrors.
The rear axle is better designed and thus the working suspension is smoother while the wheels are tighter at the same time.
The one downside of my particular piece is several scratches, dings and some uneven paint, sadly. But for the price and inprovement in other areas, I can overlook it.
Very nice model.
No issues with paint, though the metallicity is rather subtle.
The interior is gorgeous for a Norev with even the cargo bay carpeted in the same tan colour as the seats and interior carpets.
The suspension works decently well.
The engine bay detail isn't that good, but typical for a Norev.
maybe the wheels should be slightly smaller, but frankly, they add up to 22 inches, which was possible on the real car.
Nice model, particularly strong with the exterior dual paint and the very detailed interior.
The paint (both the kalahari gold and rubellite red) is metallic and very well applied throughout. The interior (black and white in my case) has sliding first row seats and movable second row leg rests and is overall very detailed with lovely headrest pillows.
The unique feature is the turning rear wheels that can be set to turn with the front wheels (high speed operation) or opposite the front wheels (maneuvring at low speeds on the real car). Sadly the rear wheels cannot be disengaged from the front wheels. They have to turn one way or another, and since they turn at similar angles to the front wheels, it can look a bit extreme on the model.
The one issue with my particular model is that two of the wheels are almost stuck and even after lubricating them, they rotate only with a large force applied to them, unfortunate. Otherwise the champagne flute multispoke wheels are gorgeous, if possibly a couple millimeters too small, which causes a pretty low ride.
Definitely an upgrade on Norev versions of the Mercedes Maybach and not that much more expensive, but I wish the turning/wheels part was redone a little better. Almost Real could certainly manage that.
Excellent model by Norev, most detailed with plenty features.
Spotless metallic paint, all opening features hold open (considering even the doors open upwards, that is saying a lot), front and rear compartments even have metal supports. Grilles in the front opening and the rear hatch are perforated. Wonderful detail in the engine compartment with the carpeted baggage tub being removable (it was added to the real concept cars as an afterthought). Spare tire and other mechanicals also detailed in the front compartment. Carpeted and detailed interior. Pop up front lights are controlled by a lever underneath. All wheels have a soft working suspension.
One could just go on and on. This is the best model from Norev I've ever seen.
The only downside is that it rides a bit higher than the real deal, but then again, that one had adjustable height dampers, so maybe it could also ride higher like the model, who knows...
Solid model with nice soft working suspension, clear light interior with nice details and some features like opening sunroof, sliding front seats and a rotating prop schaft.
Sadly, as the seller warns in the item description, there is some paint rash (on the bonnet in this case).
Otherwise it'd be pretty much perfect.
For the price, this is a wonderful model.
The blue version actually has a metallic blue paint, which was a nice surprise.
The interior is dark, but very detailed. The working suspension could be smoother, but all opening parts are solid, shutlines are tight, paint quality is also alright (one small spot of paint rash).
I wish the wheels were a little larger as they are noticeably smaller than on the real car, but overall, for 30 USD, cannot complain.
I have received this model few weeks ago and I am really pleased. I know that in description it is said that there are few quality problems, but they are minor and barely noticeable. Also, for the price, you will receive an excellent model car. And the Small Ants service was at the highest standard, as usual.
