1/8 scale Pocher Lamborghini Aventador

There doesn't seem to be one of these new kits being built anywhere on this forum yet so I thought I'd post mine!
Having built their Testarossa in the 90's I'm hoping this one goes together a bit better!
It comes in a box that is the size of a Microwave! You should have seen the delivery guy trying to get it through the door!

Work started on the engine:
Fuel injectors in green, fuel rail and regulator.

Nice start! Are you going to be changing the exterior color?

Thanks for posting, I am curious to see how the build goes.

X2 I'm keen to see this one:icon16:

The engine is complete, just needs wiring adding now.
The 1/18 Aston gives an idea of size! It's huge and the plastic thick so it has a quality feel about it. Part fit is very good.

Wow, very interesting !

Beautiful engine :)

Very nice start, are the paint colours called out in the instructions? I have seen some WIPs of this on other forums and none were painted, it looks so much better with some paint on the engine and interior.

No colours mentioned, it's all based on hours of research photos found on the internet.
Many many Pocher kits were built without paint over the years, only a few ever get the detail they deserve.
I think a few wanted to be the first to build this kit but I am in no hurry and am taking my time.

off to a great start!

Guiddy,

do you have any idea where the parts labeled MT-01 and MT-02 fit in the model

i cannot find any reference to them in the manual

Have you downloaded the latest manual off their website?
I've not fitted those parts yet, what do they look like?

Download the manual from here http://www.pocher.com/index_en.php#downloads and you will find out the right places.

And the inventory list is also very useful. You can download it from here http://www.autographmodel.com/shop/mediafiles/Sonstiges/E-Inventarliste_Pocher_Lamborghini.pdf

It seems they are floor mats for interior!

I've heard the factory paint on the body panels leaves a lot to be desired. Good luck w/the build!

I'm planning to wet sand and polish the paint but don't want to respray this one as it's white which won't be released again.

Off to a great start!!!
Question, are all the parts pre painted & (if your doing a simple job) you just screw / glue it all together?

Yes its all pre-painted and coloured. You can build it out the box and it'll be pretty good, but adding further detail brings it to life and what's cool is you can go as detailed as your ability allows.

The engine is all wired up now ready for The upper half like the air boxes etc.
Added some wiring detail to various components. These won't be seen once the engine is sitting in the car but it filled out the spaces and made the rear subframe look busier!

Attention now turns to the interior where I picked out the seat stitches in Tamiya Flat yellow:

I bet that took Awhile!!!

I see Pocher are releasing a Flat Black (nero Nemesis) version with orange interior! & 2 Roadster versions!

The coloured stitching option on the real car extends to the dash, centre console and door panels and I have tried to replicate that using two lines of Tamiya masking tape with a narrow space between them, then painting on dashes to Tamiya flat yellow.
When the tape is removed it looks like this...
It needs two rows like this on each part.

looking nice with the stitching detail! :)

Amazing!!! this is really big, i know a couple of Ferraris from 90s Pocher, and this i think is a total revolution.
Please go on !!!
I follow this thread.
Guillermo

just seen it today one completed in orange.
Is really BIG model. Just be careful cause when complete it will weight 10 kilos. ;)

Cockpit nearly finished:

Tedious work....you did a great job on the stitching!

O M G!

Hilarious interior, wow, like a real one! :eek:

I've now moved on to final detailing in the engine compartment. It's amazing how many evenings it takes to wire it all up!
I used Halfords paints to create the sand cast finish of the manifold.

And then used a metal emblems set I bought off ebay to redo the Lamborghini script after I sanded the original one off. It's super crisp and easier than painting the original raised lettering...

love this build amazing quality I wanted to get one till I saw the price being a heavy duty mechanic only pays so much lol

The rear subframe is complete and added to the monocoque.
This thing is huge already and very heavy!
Even the intake manifolds & Airboxes are made of many many parts. Metal decals were used for the Lamborghini scripts.
