1:8 Aventador

[DIW35]

This 1:8 scale Lamborghini Aventador from Pocher looks rather nice, if you've got £500 to spare.

I looked at these about a month ago, as well as several months ago! If only the price was a bit less, then maybe, but it's a hell of a lot for a model.

Many years ago - seems like a hundred - I bought & built a Pocher Ferrari Testa Rossa. Bloody expensive model in those days as it cost me in the region, I'm think, of £300.

Sadly I don't have it any longer as it got binned by my now ex-wife during our long divorce battle!

The Aventador is awesome - just wish I could afford it which I can't. Unless i sell some of my Lego Technic........

I have an unbuilt Pocher Alfa 2300 and have built a couple of their scale engines. Everyone I've spoken to says the same thing - which matches my, limited, experience - at some stage in the build something simply will not fit. Not slightly out of kilter, but way out. The crankcase on the Bugatti 50 T engine is built up of sections; pegs fit into holes 'til you have the full 8-throw crank. Easy, except the pegs were substantially greater in size, (dia), than the holes. However, the level of detail is truly awesome, including piston rings and leather you need to stitch for the seats.

I'll build the Alfa one day. Possibly.
