Peugeot J7
1968 van Norev

Brand - Reference

Norev 472096 and 472098

Type

Peugeot J7 yellow “La Poste” and orange “DDE”

Comments

The wheels are too big and the tyres too narrow.

Ref. 472096: the left headlight comes out of its location.

Ref. 472098: the disassembly is supposed to be done by the rear nail shaped lights. But one is glued and must be destroyed to open the chassis. The front axle is held by two small pins, but one of the two is half broken and cannot support the leaning axle. In addition, the wheels are not drilled in the axis and are very bent. That’s Norev.

Modifications

Ref. 472098: broken rear light replaced by a drop of Humbrol red paint. Wipers painted silver and black. Twisted front axle replaced by ⌀ 0.8 nickel silver wire.
