Pocher 1:8 Aventador kit

[Alex SZ1996]

i have this Pocher Aventador build going on at the moment, so i thought that i might show it here on this forum (i have it on another forum too). i started in late october last year, building the parts i can, as i am waiting for the trans kit to be available, to really advance the build.

onto the build.

the Pocher 1:8 box:

and with a 1:18 AUTOart box


you can fit 12 AUTOart 1:18 boxes in the Pocher box. 6 in 2 layers


the front



bonnet


right door


wheels


front and mid section


the Aventadors is all AUTOart 1:18 (except the Pocher 1:8 of course)


i wont build it straight out of the box. i want add some extra details and my personal touch/taste.
various parts would benefit greatly from some new paint, so i will do that.
a trans kit is in development, which i most likely would add.
paint interior in some color combo, maybe like in the AUTOart 1:18 Aventador.
repaint wheels in another color. thinking of either silver or light gun metal. definitely not black. nooo

the front. it is not finished yet, still got some more things to do here.

[Alex SZ1996]

the front frame, also needs a little more work.

[Alex SZ1996]

the rear body

this is it for now.

Trans kit? What does the transit add?

[Alex SZ1996]

it is a set of photo etched parts that adds more realism to the model. you can see more about it here

now that i have the PE set, i have some parts to redo. on the interior floor, i had to change the carpet, but it should be finished unless i have missed something.

So everything comes pre painted? Looks like it will be a very nice model when it's done!

[Alex SZ1996]

no, only the body/exterior and metal parts comes prepainted.

I built this beastie about a year back.

There's scope to add a HUGE amount of the missing parts from the engine and front end - and there is a LOT missing.

Also, I worked out an easy way to make the entire rear end removable, otherwise most of the rear engine/transmission/suspension etc is forever hidden.

It it's of any use, my build is here:

I have this same kit and I was on the waiting list for the Trans kit but, I decided that even though it would add tons of detail I wasn't convinced that most of it would seen when the build was done. I would definitely follow Roy's advice on the rear end though, since you have the Trans kit. I'll be watching this with interest and to see how nicely this goes together.

some of the missing parts is added with the trans kit, but i dont know how much of the missing stuff it covers. but i dont think i am going to add even more stuff than the trans kit, else i will drown in the build.

i havent decided decided on the rear end yet, but i have seen your Aventador build, and there is some good hints and tips here and there.

i havent started on the engine part yet, but i will think about it.

my plan for now is to finish the interior compartment, and then the front frame, as those parts are taking up space

some progress on the dashboard. whats left is to apply decals for steering wheel bottoms, logo for steering wheel, bottoms for air vents.
i also want to put carbon on the dashboard and the back of the seats, but i am waiting for some decal softener to be able to do the decal works.

Hi Alex,

This was looking good. Did you make any progress? I'd be interested to learn a bit more about your build specifically wih the transkit.

[Alex SZ1996]

hi, not much progress since october, i have prepped the engine block for painting, but it is too cold outside for painting at the moment.

meanwhile i would put some decals on the steering wheels, but the softener i use doesnt react with the decals at all, so that is on hold until i find some softener that works.

you can see the kit on here, and another on going build here
