  1. I highly recommend the Paul Koo DVDs. It has 1000s of photos and lots of instructions. The Pocher kits are beautiful models but have some really wonky engineering. You can assemble things only to realize it blocks attachment points for further assemblies. In other cases modifications need to made because the factory screw points are in the wrong place. Paul’s DVD helps to identify the pitfalls ahead of time. He also has detailed kit packing lists so you can check the kit contents. He sells some spare parts as does Peter at Pocher Parts if you are missing bits. Paul sells through eBay or you can buy direct via email
  2. It depends on the kit. The Countach and MP4/4 were Kyosho but the E-type and GT40 were not. Many of the part works were manufactured by IXO
  3. That is a really impressive start to what will be an amazing project. Looking forward to following along
  4. Model Motor Cars sells scale bolts (under the Scale Hardware brand) in the US and Knupfer sells micro hardware in Germany. I have had great luck with both. Ted’s Modeling Marketplace has plenty of hoses and braided lines (Pro Tech) as does Tamiya. For fittings I have gotten things from RB Motion. There may be some 1:8 fittings on Shapeways if you search but I could be mistaken. Mike Lane Mods has 1:8 tie wraps in plastic and metal (for the BTTF Delorean). Tremonia on eBay has PE hose clips and seat belts. Hope this helps and really looking forward to your build
  5. Paul will list it on eBay or you can purchase directly from him. He sent out an email to his customers last night. I just ordered the set myself!
  6. There is someone on the F1M forums that is 3D printing new tires. I ordered two sets recently from him and they are in transit. I think MFH made some rubber replacement tires but they are out of print.
  7. Paul Koo sells a tap set for the other modern Pocher kits (both Lambos and the Ducati bikes). You can see if those sizes work for this kit. I think he has a 1.6, 2.3 and 2.6. He sells through eBay. Marvin at Model Motorcars also sells taps.
  8. Thanks that is really helpful. The tube is a great idea! I have tried with the wire in place and ended singeing it a bit…
  9. Truly stunning work! Do you have tips on how to work with the electrical connectors? I have had a devil of a time getting the metal/resin connector, heat sink rubber boot and wires to hold together. Are you drilling the connector to feed the wire in? And how are you shrinking the tube? Rich
  10. Yes it is complete! I just need to stick magnets on the wheel caps. I can take some photos later and post
  11. Fantastic work Ron! Thank you for taking us on this journey. I know our friend Mr C enjoyed this one immensely
  12. Really cool stuff Ron. Thanks for all the WIP pics!
  13. Staggering work Ron! How do you shape the aluminum strip for the mounting plate?
  14. I've spent the past few weeks fiddling with the rear body fit. I have filed paint off the joining surface and have gotten the fit correct on the driver side. The passenger side is giving me a lot of grief. The alignment between the door and rear panel is way off. The panel with the gas cap is not screwed in and just resting there which explains that area. But the door panel is way off I do not think I'm getting interference from the window frame (the area where the black pain was worn off) but I'm getting it from somewhere else... As @Dinky suggested I did cut down the length of the air box intakes as they did interfere with the body. That helped to fix the driver side. There is something else at play here
  15. Oh boy, really excited to see this one come together Ron! Another masterpiece in the making
