  2. The full bike is stunning! £700 though, probably not bad for what ypu get but one for the collectors I think.
     
  3. I don’t wish to appear churlish but I would like to have seen the model of the engine as a cut out, showing the workings. That, I’d buy in an instant. (Unlike the new TV I’ve been mithering about for weeks). Andy

  4. I built the last Pocher Ducati, the new one is too similar for me to spend that amount of money again. Just the engine though. IMG_5615.jpeg IMG_5613.jpeg

  5. Glue and paint required? Presumably you have to get your own sponsors, too?
     
  6. Okay, I can see the appeal. I would, however, want to be able to start it.

  7. Looks nice. 1/4th scale about 2ft long I guess? I'm more into model tanks myself. Did consider buying Dora railway gun in 1/35th scale years ago, £400 and six foot long. Ain't got the space. You do need to do a realistic paint job on these expensive kits if you want your money back. Or do a version of one that's been lobbed down the road?

    ironically i was talking to a neighbour about my bike a few months ago and he is into making these pocher models he showed me a panigale hes done and also 4 or 5 super cars, some of the cars hes done cost £1800 each :astonished:
    he must be a very patient man i certainly couldnt do one.

  9. from what I understand these kits arrive pre painted, so a relatively straightforward assembly and decal application, I'm not trying to down play the skill / effort involved and be assured if I had the money spare I'd be all over it!
     
  10. Just finished this Tamiya 1:6 model
