This surely takes some guts to cut one of the most expensive and hard to find kits apart to make this race version which parts you mostly have to make for yourself. I take my hat off, Sir.

I've got 4 Pocher F-40's , three of them were bought on "Evilbay" and they were not so expensive. I've you look for a finished and damaged Pocher F-40, you will probably find one for about € 150-200. Of course that's a lot more expensive then a plastic 1/24 scale kit, but I think it's well worth it since it will take me about 1 tot 2,5 years to finish one conversion.
I'm planning to build 1 of the F-40's as a street version with almost all the parts from the Autograph transkit made from scratch (and adding a lot of extra details), 1 will be built as an LM version, 1 as an LM GTE, and this one will - hopefully - become the F-40 Beurlys.
And yes, apart from some switches and little parts for the interior, all the parts will be made from scratch
