Default Finished another Pocher 1/8 kit

I finished a Pocher Aventador 1/8 scale kit last weekend. More of a project then the Ducati was. The Ducati was mostly metal and didn't require hardly any painting. This kit was mostly plastic except for the body and frame, they were pre painted but everything else had to be painted. All in all I'm happy with the end result. I should have dusted it before pics though!

Very nice!

1:8 is pretty large scale... that must take a lot of room to display.

It's pretty good sized, here is a pic with a M19 K-comp for size comparison. I'm guessing the weight is around 20 pounds.

The table is mesquite with turquoise inlays I had made in Mexico, it's pretty nice! I saw one in a store in Tubac years ago and knew when I got moved out here I wanted one.

Nice work ,I appreciate the attention to detail
Funny thing , in my mind when I think models I picture a silver Lysander with glue finger prints on the canopy haha
It hung from my ceiling along with others when I was a boy

As soon as you wash it, it rains the next day.
Great car model BTW.
