    This is my first Airfix model in over fifty years. The last two were the Sunderland Flying Boat and the Lancaster Bomber.

    Three months of loving fun.

    I have waited many years for a 1 : 24 Spitfire model.

    I am a fanatic on Spitfires.

    My father worked on Merlin motors at RR in WW11.

    He passed on his love of Spitfires to me.

    My next projects are the Supermarine S-6B and then the Airfix 1 : 24 Hawker Hurricane.

    Hi 

    I have been constructing Pocher models now for about 10years having discovered them by accident on eBay. I have built the Mercedes 540k., the Rolls Royce Sedanica, the Lamborghini Aventador. The Lamborghini Huracan and the Pocher master piece Ducati Pannegale, All these kits have benefited from additional detailing in the form of 3d cad  printing including wiring plugs sockets etc, Lighting bodywork enhancements and in the case of the Pannegale, I 3d printed a rider which can be seen below. Videos of my work can be seen on UTube by following the links

    I enjoy building the Pocher models because the large scale enables the super detailing shown in the videos to be accommodated, but I also enjoy the associated research and CAD work the additions require. Pochers are simply the best, having also built LeGrand and IXO models which although good are not as good in my opinion as the build experience of the Pochers, being more simplistic and not as challenging as the Pocher models.

    Building models is not just a hobby its a20240111_221604.thumb.jpg.702f8db2e5b73cb5badf09d9981eee09.jpg20230113_222347.thumb.jpg.ed0de9688e0e7c504fd38401be3c9199.jpg pastime that I  can pass on to my grandchildren . It's a beautiful way of expressing your self by creating amazing detailed cars and bikes by either Building straight from Box or enhancing them with your own creativity. My modles will be passed down to my grandchildren so they can enjoy them as much as I do

    Hi all Pocher lovers. My name is Les. I am a disabled person with very little use of my legs so i am unable to work any more. i am now 60 years old

    and i have been collecting Pocher models for about 20 years now. my first model was the Porsche 993 Black addition which i sprayed White and put the GT2 kit

    on it that you use to be able to get. i will put a few pics of it on here if i can work out how to do it. my second kit was the Ferrari F40 in Yellow. Third was the 

    Ferrari Testarossa. Forth was the Blue Lamborghini Aventadore. The Fifth one was the Orange Lamborghini Aventadore.  My Sixth one was the Lamborghini

    Huracan  in Yellow. Then i got the Green Lamborghini Huracan which i sprayed the wheels black and i put a Lamborghini Aventadore rear spoiler on which makes

    it look so much better i think. after that Pocher brought out the Stunning Ducati Panigale. I now have all three of them. unfortunately after building  the final edition

    Ducati i got Cancer. After having a operation and having two feet of my bowel removed then having the maximum  amount of chemo, it killed the nerves in my feet

    so now i can hardly walk. So i am now disabled and unable to work so i can not afford to bye these models any more which is why i would love to win this Black

    Aventadore. i will upload all pics soon. i would just like to say thanks to Pocher for keeping me happy over the years.

    Les.

    I Would also like to say that i have now spent over £8000 on Pocher Models and as i am un able to work any more, i can not afford to bye any more so i would be most grateful if Hornby Gave me that Aventadore as it more then likely will be the last one i will be able to make. Come on Hornby, Pretty Please. Kind Regards Les.  

  6. I do agree that the 288gto and the 250gto outstanding cars but the 355 was the first Ferrari that i fell in love with 😍LoL. And it is the only Ferrari that i have ever

    got to drive.

    Would be great to see some Audi models as Pocher kits. The new Audi R8 GT would be awesome
