    It might be the worst diecast model of anything I've ever seen.

    Yeah, and incorrect wheels to boot!

    Didn't realize that rear wheel track on Dino's is narrower than the fronts. LOL

    Who makes the best model? Would love to have a red 246 gts for my desktop. Thanks for the advice.

    Meh, with decent wheels and a few mods it wouldn´t be so bad.

    It´s a toy after all.

    It is a toy, it was made in late 1970's and has all the horrors of that time (plastic, wheels), just like the most of models from that time. Remember, Norev was actually one of BETTER manufacturers at that time. The worst one? No, there are much worse ones. Especially the much overpriced ones, meant to be the accurate but with wrong details.

    If you are looking for an accurate Dino model this one won't be good choice. If you are a model car collector like me, with genuine interest in history of the hobby, you will like it and probably have it, despite its inaccuracies.

    I'd personally go with Kyosho 1/43, not the best one, for sure, but not too expensive and with nice touch of opening parts, if you like that feature in 1/43.

    I prefer the 1/18 scale models. Anything smaller than that, with a few exceptions, to me looks like a toy.
