Pocher 1932 Alfa Romeo Spider

[ReduitRetro]

Hello, been away from the site for a bit, and thought I would dip a toe back in with this entry on the car side first. This kit was easily the most difficult, stubborn, and fiddly of any build I've done. The kit often required modifying parts to work as they should, translating how the instruction booklet shows how a particular assembly goes, to actually how it needs to be assembled. But if you don't mind a challenging build experience, and you have loads of patience, you will be awarded with a stunning replica. The kit was built primarily box stock, but with a number of aftermarket metal parts, such as the front axle, leaf springs, various suspension, steering, braking, interior, and lighting parts, etc. Since I worked on this kit in between other builds, it's taken close to 8 years to complete. Hope you enjoy, and as always thanks for looking.

James, your 8 years of effort shine through on your build.  It's a truly stunning car you've crafted.  Congratulations on such a fantastic effort.

Thats very nice work James. Having fought  the Monza Muletto version together I can appreciate the amount of work thats gone in to your build and all of the extra effort that would be required to get the full body  assembled and everything lining up. Well done.
