I consider every modeller here that can open a box and put the pieces together an artist, and all our collective works make for one heck of an art collection.... Thanks for the compliment my friendIt is the best model I've ever seen but then again this isn't a model, IT'S A WORK OF ART!!!!

Man im gonna be all over this like stink on POO POO !

I figured while im waiting on the trans kit id start painting some parts.
I was able to get the textured look of the vavle covers by spraying at about 16 inches away from the parts they were sprayed with Testors Itailian red.
these are the exhaust heat shields sprayed with a light coating of alclad pale burnt metal, i'll spray them once more to get em a lil darker...
And heres the tranny with a lil alclad white aluminum.....
I may be jumping the gun here so these colors may change. I hope you enjoyed.....

No the OZ kit is no longer available Im getting the latest kit its called the "SpeedLine" and it comes with the Speedline multipart aluminum rims these are the original F40 street wheelsIs the transkit the one that include the racing OZ wheels and racing slicks? WOW...if these are again available will order one, have one of these Pocher F40 that want to build into one of the F40LM version or GT class racing configuration.
Knowing your attention to detail and accuracy and with the amazing Autograph transkit this new project of yours will be another scale masterpiece.

The trans kit is still in transit im exspecting it any day now, but i'll take pleanty of pics of it when it gets here.I'm gonna love seeing what you do to this kit. Would it be possible to give us a few shots of the transkit to see what's in it?

Thanks Matt im gonna strip the body today your tip will help.Rommel; Nice project. I'll tell you the autograph transkit will really make it into a MODEL; no two ways about it.....you are gonna love transforming that pocher into the type of car you usually do. The great thing about that generation Pocher: the paint is so bad in most cases; it generally comes right off with lacquer thinner. I did a bunch of Testarossa re-paints last year....just fill a big tub with primer grade thinner, chuck in the parts; and the paint will just peel off....be sure to put a lid on the tub....it saves a ton of work. Looks like fun! Matt

You know I have heard that hundreds of these trans kits have been sold but only a handful of builders have completed it. I'll be taking my time with this one we'll just have to see how it goes.Alriiight- I can't wait to see how this one turns out! The Pocher does look pretty toylike out of the box, but I'm guessing that's nothing that an expert builder and a few thousand dollars worth of fine German aftermarket parts can't fix. So, Romell, do you give this project one week or two?
-
Yeah me too but that makes the challange even greater!I would have expected greater detail on that motor out of the box considering the price of these kits.

Hey fellas Im back with hopefully another good project. Actually this was my holygrail of projects, I've wanted to build a pocher F40 for years but could never seem to get the kit due to the rarity of it , you know how it works the more rare the more costly it becomes. On ebay these Kits run from anywhere up wards of $500.00 - $1200.00 I was able to get mine as a poorly built glue bomb for $250.00.
Also I have the latest AutoGraph Trans Kit on the way from Germany these trans kits sell for around $2000.00 but will completely transform the pocher kit into a museum quality build.
My first order of business was to dis-assemble the F40 and clean up the parts (there are over 300 seperate parts) and get it ready for the arrival of the Trans Kit.
So without further ado lets get this thread started.....
Heres the F40 when it arrived....
here the body has been removed....
and finaly the motor removed.
At this stage the Pocher F40 is merly a exspensive Diecast if you ask me, but I love it!
