Sounds like a great project you've got going! Tackling a Pocher 1/8 Volvo restoration is no small feat, especially after taking on models like the Lotus F1 and Aventador. It’s good you’re giving the truck a proper rebuild, especially if the previous owner had to resort to non-standard screws just to hold it together.
Sanding can be a bit of a grind (pun intended), but it’s worth it to get everything smooth and ready for assembly. Your idea of adding the extra screws to the front wheel hubs sounds like a smart move—gives it that more robust, heavy-duty look and should help with the overall strength too.
Looking forward to seeing how the project progresses once you get past the sanding phase and start fabricating and assembling! Keep the updates coming!

Sorry pocher but this has to be the stupidest choice of car to model ever.
I think it's quite a cool choice! What makes you not like it?

Very cool. Looks like he likes it!

I like how they were banned for being too fast 🤣

If you thought the Rimac Nevera was fast, meet its even wilder sibling: the Rimac Nevera R. Limited to just 40 units, this version takes everything up a notch.
The Nevera R comes with a new 108kWh battery that’s lighter, more efficient, and boosts power output to a massive 2,078bhp. Torque vectoring has been enhanced, sending power to all four wheels. It’s now quicker too – 0-62mph still in 1.81 seconds, but it hits 186mph in just 8.66 seconds (compared to 9.22 in the standard Nevera).
Rimac has also improved stopping power with new carbon ceramic brakes, along with an aero kit that includes a fixed rear wing. Downforce is up by 15%, understeer reduced by 10%, and the car comes fitted with Michelin Cup 2 tyres for better handling. They even shaved 3.8 seconds off its lap time at Nardo.
According to Mate Rimac, the Nevera R is built for those who wanted even more cornering precision and handling capability, while still being a world-class hypercar.
What do you think? Is this the ultimate evolution of the Nevera?

Tuthill, known for its incredible Porsche builds, has just unveiled its latest creation: the GT One. Clearly inspired by the legendary 911 GT1 from 1990s endurance racing, the GT One is a street-legal supercar limited to just 22 units.
Buyers have some big decisions to make: a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox or a six-speed manual? A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with around 500bhp, or a twin-turbo version pushing over 600bhp? Despite not having the same power as some modern supercars, the GT One’s ultra-lightweight carbon-fiber body and carbon ceramic brakes keep it at just 1,200kg. That's less than a Boxster, but with 911 Turbo-level power.
Tuthill developed this car after a conversation between company boss Richard Tuthill and a client, asking what a modern GT1 road car would be like. The result? A car that mixes FIA-level safety with road-legal practicality, wrapped in a sleek, low-drag design.
There’s talk of a potential aero pack for track use, but no official performance figures or pricing yet. For now, the focus is on its stunning looks and engineering.
Could the GT One rival Singer in the race to create the ultimate 911? What do you think?

Lamborghini have finally revealed the much-anticipated successor to the Huracán, and it’s called the Temerario.
The iconic V10 that’s been in their cars since 2003 is out, and in its place is a new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, paired with three electric motors. It’s got a hot-vee layout, which means the turbos sit between the two cylinder banks.
One motor is located between the engine’s crankshaft and the gearbox, while the other two are mounted on the front axle, allowing for front-wheel-drive operation for short distances in near-silence.
The engine alone puts out 789bhp, between 9000rpm and 9750rpm, with a 10,000rpm redline. Add the electric motors, and total output jumps to 907bhp, giving it a 0-62mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 213mph.
The electric motors provide torque-filling at low revs to reduce turbo lag, powered by a small 3.8kWh battery, which can be charged at rates of up to 7kW via AC.
Thoughts on this as the Huracán’s replacement? Should it be made in 1:8 scale by Pocher?

Mos is another model kit YouTuber who primarily focuses on Airfix models but recently tackled the Pocher Lamborghini Aventador Kit. Mos' videos were slighly different in that he built the model in stages on a live stream, so people could watch along in real time as he built the model.

Looking for Porsche 993 Trans Kit
in Pocher Marketplace/Shopping
Posted
Your best bet is probably checking out second-hand markets like eBay or specialist model forums where people trade and sell rare kits. You might also have some luck reaching out to any Facebook groups or communities dedicated to 993 builds or scale modelling. Sometimes enthusiasts have old stock or might know someone who does.
If that doesn't turn anything up, you could try posting in some of those groups to see if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with.
Good luck with the search—hopefully, someone’s got one tucked away!
