1/18 Roewe 750 Model - Wow!

RoverRobson · 7th December 2016, 19:18

I've always been sceptical of these models and never took the plunge to buy one. But something inside said just buy it when I saw this for sale on eBay direct from china for circa £110 delivered.

I purchased it two weeks ago with an estimated delivery of 4th January but it arrived, to my shock, yesterday!

Was packed really well and came in its original box.

The model is a nice weight, and it's made really well to be honest with loads of fantastic touches like real floor and boot carpet as well as opening fuel cap, spare wheel well, 17" star spokes, detailed V6 engine and folding mirrors.

Shame it's not a Rover, but it's close and it's a lovely bit of kit.

If anyone knows of the MG7 1/18 going spare please give me a shout!

Here are some pictures.

Well worth the money if you can grab one IMO!

Cheers
Robson

A very detailed model, looks smart. Trouble is you you can nearly buy a full sized model for that...

However, you can't put a full sized one in the front room, where that one will look superb in the mantle

The warning triangle must be worth £40

Does the boot leak

Looks nice, but those Chinese guys don't know how to properly align panels and rear doors

Very nice model indeed!

Bought one in Royal Blue from a guy on a trade stall when the club had a national meet some years ago at Avoncroft Museum,think I paid about £90 at the time,but I consider it well spent,as has been said the model is absolutely superb in detail,will post some piccies up when I can.
