  1. I am making headway on the Lotus. Here are a few more pics. This model is typical of Pocher as far as many small parts require glue however the details are fantastic. I like the challenge that Pocher presents to the builder. It leaves one with the feeling of accomplishment and pride. I get the feeling that I am actually assembling a real car.

  2. I have been distracted with other projects but I have made some progress. This first addition of Pocher instructions leave much to be desired . I have built several Pocher models spanning their existence and am used to their directions. I am sure their will soon be updated plans by builders including Paul Koos and Scale Models. Here are some pics of my progress.

  3. The Pack 7 is just being shipped at this time. Notices were sent out that they were held up in customs. If you believe that there is a problem "Support" will respond quickly to you.

  4. Thanks for the info. I sort of suspected that it was short on details from the pictures on the website. I have built several of the early Pocher "classics" that are great display pieces IMO that I enjoy looking at regardless of details. They are very challenging and require skills. I build models because I enjoy the exercise as much anything. I am retired and was used to building custom control cabinets and auto mated installations 40-60 hours a week. The models are a good substitute. Once my old eyes are fixed I have some great highly detailed 1/12 MFH models to build. They are a challenge. The contemporary 1/8 scale parts works models are easy but present well.

  5. Once mine go in the display case the batteries are removed and likely forever at least by me. I don't want to mess up the model either. Some of the antique Pocher kits I built were designed for batteries that are no longer made. I didn't bother modifying them just to have lit headlights once. But that is me and I am a retired electrician. I don't play with my collection typically.
