Just bought my first pocher model kit ok it is only the bugatti engine.

but how cool are them with all the nuts and bolts and metal pieces.

i want a car to do.

anybody else built any pocher kits (if you can afford them )

Hi,
I've got two of them, two locost versions.
One red Ferrari Testarossa and one white Ferrari Testarossa Spider.
I've build them 15 years ago, and still got them.
I thougt, that Pocher has stopped building models?
cheers-JP

WTF are they?

pocher models went out of business a number of years ago, which is why kits go for such a lot of money.

they are very detailed for examples

the Rolls-Royce Phantom II chassis Short type Continental Tourer with drop head Sedanca Coupe body. This wonderful model has been made upon the original drawings which were kindly supplied by courtesy of Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd. and thanks to the collaboration of the owner of the prototype who is also a model enthusiast. The model consists of 2199 pieces divided in 454 high impact plastic parts, 1059 brass parts, 430 stainless parts, 256 other different materials parts (steel, copper, rubber and so on).

Some of the most important characteristics are:

1) The steering is operating.

2) The brake pedal operates on the four wheels, the hand brake is independent and operates on separate brake shoes on the rear wheels.

3) Suspensions are in lined steel and perfectly efficient.

4) Headlamps are lit from dashboard.

5) The drop head hood can be opened.

6) The lateral glasses can be opened turning the handles.

7) The bonnet and the luggage rack can be opened.

8) Crankshaft with connecting rods, pistons and gudgeon pins operating by turning the starting handle. At the same time by means of V belts and gears, the fan, generator and magnet are also operated.

The windows even roll up and down by turning the handles! From spoked wheels you get to put together to leather upholstery, this model kit is absolutely amazing!

no locost because you can build a real car for less than these models

Bl**dy h**l, you could build a fair Locost for those prices. Ray
