Poscher 1/8 Ferrari F40

Mr EagleMoto4-2, Sir, this 1/8 scale model must be 50-60 cm in length, I imagine?
Is it quite detailed? Can you kindly share some pictures of interior, engine bay etc?
And lastly, where can purchase a 1/8 scale model and what is approximate price range?

[Digger]

Anyone got any warships, carriers, recommendations etc?

Pocher 1/8 kits have been around for a while. The old F-40 kit is long discontinued I believe, although you may find a pre-owned ready built one if you hunt around. Current kits like the Lamborghini Aventador are costly at around £500 but incredibly detailed and by most accounts better quality than some of the older kits.

I have the Airfix Type 45, it's a nice kit.

I'd like to build an MTB at some point too, I'm thinking about the Italeri Vosper 72.

You'll be telling me you've no idea of the significance of these next

[RichB]

None, what are they? I think the jag was used in an Austin Powers film but I've never seen any of those.

Yes, long discontinued but you see them pop up on eBay once in a while. It is about those dimensions. It isn't as detailed as one would imagine for such a large model. A lot of the hoses and wiring for the engine weren't included with the kit. The engine itself and the cockpit are quite well detailed. I painted both to make them look more realistic. A few years ago I noticed an online company selling a detailing set for the F40 but it cost approx £1000! Included much improved suspension and brakes, all sorts of engine details, metal parts and photo-etch sets. I had neither the disposable cash or time to warrant its purchase though!
I will get some more shots of the interior for you.

Got my Dane Train back after it being sent away for a couple of weeks

Did someone supply & fit the lights for you or did you buy a kit from eBay? and do it yourself?

Looks fantastic btw!

Some petrolhead...

The Challenger was from the 1971 cult classic car chase movie Vanishing Point with Barry Newman. The Mach 1 Mustang was from H.B. Hallicki's 1974 Gone in Sixty Seconds, a self written/directed/produced/starred in car chase movie about a professional car thief, and the modified Shelby GT500 was from the late 90s remake with Nicholas Cage.

Scoff you may well do but I don't go to the cinema much and I don't really watch films on TV. Not that a knowledge of US films & actors makes a petrolhead, I like driving my cars

[jamieduff1981]

I need to slow down the rate at which my odometers spin round. I've put 10k on my Cerbera in 2 years of non-use, 15k on my XFR-S that was new last spring and 11k on my pickup which was new in January, plus about 10k on each of the older Jags each year. I should spend more time watching movies!

Cheers it's a guy in France that did it for me he's did 4 in total for me so far






Currently talking about a 5th project which will hopefully be the Bentley GT3 but still trying to work out how to do the green halo grill light

Blimey, you must be doing about 50k miles a year!

I saw model lichtsysteme (German) a few years ago and their M3. https://www.youtube.com/user/modelllichtsysteme/vi... so always been interested in how good these lights can be.
