Got the engine of the Pocher Aventador finished (unpainted OOB build). With the price of this thing one would expect better fit especially of the metal parts. Also the lack of detail on less visible parts is annoying. I've seen and built a lot better (again, to reiterate, DeAgos Countach is the current pinnacle to aspire to in my opinion) . Seems they only took the name from historic Pocher in the restart.

Look very nice.The original Pochers had quite a variation in quality too.The Porsche kit especially had an awful engine and the Volvo truck was pretty terrible too.

I think the ultimate are the model factory hiro kits.The level of detail is amazing.The fit is also very good.

I have the DeAg lambo and the Pocher lambo and the DeAg is SO much better than the Pocher.

For an out of the box build the detail looks good.

Hope the issues are minor ones, look forward to next update.

I'd buy the heck out of MFH if only they made less race cars and more super cars.

Why not love it for what it is and just live with it, all kits no matter how much or how little you pay for them will have flaws of some description.

I think sometimes it is done on purpose to feed our wish to create the perfect copy of the model and also to sell us loads of aftermarket stuff to cover or enhance the percieved flaws.
Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Yeah, the DeAgostini Countach is so much better as an OOB build. But I'm enjoying my Aventador a lot anyway, and when you don't build it just out of the box but decide to add to it, it becomes a very rewarding experience. You see, with Countach you get ready, prepainted parts. With Aventador they are still on the sprues, in plastic that roughly matches the expected outcome - but you can just have so many colours of that plastic, and it will never be as good as fully painted model. So, I'm treating this more like a large and complex plastic model kit (with the exception of bodywork) and it changes everything.

Yeah but have you built an old Pocher kit, parts fit is often terrible so say the least and no wonder they went bust!

The latest Ducati Panigale is one heck of a stunning kit. Just wait until you see the unique DeAg Pocher Aventador..

Another month and I've finally gathered enough courage to put together the instrument panel.

Which means that now the middle section of the car is entirely done and put together





Again a bit of strenth was needed to bend the metal struts into place a bit, but nothing like what was necessary with the engine.

Next the completed engine block is attached and the rear suspension will be built.

Developing nicely Michael, looking forward to seeing the engine assembly mated to the centre section - well done.
