  1. New function unlocked for Pocher models. 🙂
  2. Yes, sometimes you need to apply water decals, and its usually in areas inaccessible or infeasible for pad printing at the factory I would assume.
  3. Yes, you need to be careful doing that for that precise reason. It may mean you end up without access to screw on a component at a later stage and might be forced to dismantle, or find another method for assembling that component. That said, everyone sees the challenge different, and part of the fun is finding a new technique or trick to get around a tricky stage.
  4. For me difficulty can be challenging to define. Whilst some kits could take 30-50 hours to build, this time can be filled by assembling relatively straight forward small components. The real challenge is when you need to do something a little more tricky, feeding tubing for fuel lines or spark leads around a small engine before you assemble (HK114 Lotus and HK117 Ducati prime examples) A difficulty rating would be helpful for Pocher, but I can understand its difficult to define.
  5. If you consider the cost of Amalgam models, which are pre-built in 1:8, that gives you an idea about what it 'could' cost. 1:18 Scale Models – Amalgam Collection
  6. This suits me.. Having unrealistic access panels and visible wiring to enable light and sound isn't what I look for in a Pocher model.
  7. The 1:4 scale Ducati was a major departure for Pocher from 1:8 Scale. Seems to have been a successful one considering the amount they have made of the Ducati Panigale!
