An integral part are also locking square screws intertwined with wire throughout the car ... The first on the wound was a mask ... However, I came across the shortcomings of both the iron and model market. The trial error form is a fairly expensive variant of testing. The first printed screws, although small and according to the drawing, would be suitable for Pocher. Another try, resin 3D printing, the screws are half .... well IT'S IT !! Renek If your thinking of producing these for sale I would definitely purchase a set off you Keep up the good work, mine arrives next week and I'm picking up a lot of good tips from your build 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloucher Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Renek - I'm building this model as well, and like you I have scratch built the ignition wire protection tube, although I used aluminium tube rather than brass. Mine was made, not for aesthetics so much as for necessity. My heavy handedness broke the plastic kit part when attempting to drill the ignition lead holes out larger! You didn't mention the friction dampers, but did you find you had to thin them down a lot to make them look scale? Final question for you - have you found a location to place decal 12 at all? I have searched the instruction sheet over and over, and despite going cross-eyed, i have not found where it is supposed to go. To me it looks like it may be a chassis identification plate, but I can't find any photos to back that thought up. You've made a wonderful build so far, and I'm definitely going to steal your idea (and dimensions) for 3D printing the body wirelocking bolts!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure, after checking out a number of builds, another on here, they seem to show them that way up ? But looking at the real thing they show them the other way up, perhaps Italeri have got the instructions wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it, but I think the instructions must be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely the cable protection part needs to be replaced with a scratch ... I did not solve the shock absorbers, this particular construction is a kind of test of how and what to improve on a sharp construction. I did not find the sticker - label No. 12 in the instructions and I glued it discreetly into the space of the partition Thank you for your interest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renek Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 With my son and his assistants, with the loss of nerves, I fitted the body with several rivet details. I replaced the flexible hoses from the kit with brass pipes and fixed everything with glue 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had a Pocher kit and a bottomless wallet, then I'd be visiting modelmotorcars website and getting all their aftermarket parts - amazing range! As it is, I can only afford the smaller scale Italeri kit so I'm also going to see if I can get some wirelocking studs printed. I know a few guys with 3d printers who owe me a favour or two, so I just need to get the hang of FreeCad to produce a STL file. @Renek - which dimensions did you use for your wire-locking studs eventually? I tried to use the dimensions you showed in that scan, but assuming they had to be reduced for a scale appearance, the square part and the round part under it don't work out "as is". I'm wondering whether that no.12 decal is supposed to be a chassis identification plate, but if it is I have no idea where on the chassis it should be mounted!

I enclose the dimensions of the screws in a non-artificial drawing I just placed the label number 12 somewhere, I didn't come where it belongs. At the beginning I wrote that this construction is a trial and it does not matter much about the perfect design. That "sharp" will follow later 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renek Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Today, only a glued fire partition of the instrument panel ... This step could not be tried in advance, not on the right side perfetto, on the left a tiny half-millimeter correction and it will be ok. The important thing is the perfect fit surface frames and pontoons, which I've already quite disturbed the admitted construction screws ... well ... and dust dust I fitted the body with square screws ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloucher Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks @Renek for the diagram. I'm going to get this drawn as a CAD file and get some quotes for 3d resin printing. Would I be right in thinking there are around 36 of these bolts altogether? Your build is amazing so far. It looks every bit as good, if not better, than some of the Pocher builds I've seen - very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
