sjordan2 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Model Motor Cars is coming out with something of a holy grail for me, a new Alfa 8C 2900 Mille Miglia body; fits on the Pocher Alfas. Due early 20016. Here's a real one... I can't afford the Pocher kit, so I'd have to do the body like Ralph Lauren's pre-restoration version..

Harry P. Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I assume this is some sort of very early pre-production body, because I don't see a whole lotta louvers in that hood. Also wondering if the body will include the grille, headlights, and windshield, which are all different than what's in any of the three Pocher Alfa kits.

LDO Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think plans were drawn up by Gerald Wingrove. Last I heard, they were being sold by Stephen Pombo. Scratch build what you need, even if it's to make a curbside kit. Hey- how hard can it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch build what you need, even if it's to make a curbside kit. Hey- how hard can it be? Bear in mind that the Pocher body will be 1/8, but it's possible they could be using Wingrove plans -- Gerald Wingrove usually builds one-offs in 1/15 scale; you can see his spectacular 8c2900B in galleries 4&5 in the Alfa 2.9 section at geraldwingrove.com I can't find any info on Stephen Pombo.

MAGIC MUFFLER Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The 8C-2900 is an outstanding looking car and my favorite of course is Ralph Lauren's. I might even try this one eventually Keep us updated on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have never been bitten by the Pocher bug but this just might push me over the edge! Please do keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have never been bitten by the Pocher bug but this just might push me over the edge! Please do keep us posted. Here's another angle on the body, which looks spot-on to me. I'll go out on a limb and predict that Marvin & Co. will provide the necessary hardware/chrome pieces and louvers.
