I wonder how many Pocher kits their are out there that remain partially built and yea who want's to mess up a $500 kit!!! but man do yours look awsome when their done Every Pocher kit has it's "problems"... it's just something you have to deal with when you build them, it's part of their "charm"... Actually, if you consider that most Pocher kits have between 1,500-2,500 pieces, they really go together amazingly well. Most of the fixes are pretty simple, really. I'm actually amazed at how well the kits are engineered, even despite the occasional goof-up, like the oil tank thing.
Harry P. Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 OK... time to wrap this baby up. A shot of the rear end... and a little later in the process... and the finished product: A few glitches along the way, but nothing too severe. I think it turned out well. These kits are definitely a challenge, and they can drive you crazy sometimes because of the complexity and the number of tiny parts... but if you stick with it and take your time (and I mean lots of time!), you wind up with a model that'll knock your socks off. The finished model is about two feet long and looks mighty impressive sitting on the shelf!
bsoder Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 "Turned out well" now there's the understatement of the year! ..she's an absolute beauty Harry, perfect color scheme for it
Brizio Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I'm building the same engine, but I couldn't find the correct motor block color, which one did you used? Thanks!

Harry P. Posted May 13, 2010 Author Posted May 13, 2010 I have one RR chassis assembled, and another RR kit still in the box, but first I have to finally put the finishing touches on my Mercedes. It's 99.999% finished but I kinda stalled out on it for some reason...

You should have listened to Paul Koo and moved the engine backwards 10 mm....no more problems with the hood fitting! I have the Pocher Sedanca Rolls started and the Star of India virgin in the box, once you finish your Mercedes we could go Rolls Roycing together.... Cheers............ Mario
