I thought I would start a new build thread on this behemoth of a kit. I ordered this massive thing about 7 months ago, and it arrived today π It will take me a while to get going on it. I have another project in the works. If any of you are familiar with Pocher, everything is pre painted and pretty much itβs screw and glue together. But I have found just by looking at the parts, there is room for improvement so I will attempt to bring this huge thing to life.
Thanks for checking in Chris

The picture of the tire is for reference, I put the rear tire up against 1/12 model factory hiro tires π

Nicely packaged kit! And at 477 pieces, that should take you, what? 4 Hours? LOL!
Let me know if you need photo assist... Also, how much room for detailing is there, since I know your level of work?

I spy some MFH rivets there in the background with that big old Firestone!

Well, since Iβm waiting on some replacement decals for another project, I thought I would spend some time starting on the lotus. This is the culmination of steps one and two. The oil pan is done! Hope you like π

I got some more doneβ¦ I changed the exhaust color ever so slightly, I sprayed Alclad jet exhaust over the black paint it originally came with. It maybe hard to see it in the photos but it looks really good in person π

Chris, The Cosworth is coming along quite nicely. Can't wait to see all the detailing on it in 1/8 scale.
As for the Alcad2 Jet exhaust over spray, with my poor eyesight I just can't see the difference. My loss for sure.
