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.

This still looks very nice though despite its short comngs

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

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.

Indeed it does :)

This one should be a really interesting marriage. :-)

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.

Looks good to me
