So there I am sitting at my desk assembling some tracks for my Sturmtiger, when I see out of the corner of my eye the postie struggling with a rather large box!! I open the door and he hands me the thingy and says "sign here, what is it a real one!!" lol.
So here it is, my 1:4 scale Ducati Panigale S from Pocher, to go with my Busa, my two top bikes on the planet!!
I will post some more pics later to review whats in the box, but for now, here is the box!! lolNemesis attached the following image(s):

Looking forward to seeing this one and in addition I`m glad I live far enough away from Al so as not to hear the screaming. That`s Al`s screams not his missus. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

I'm happy to have a missus with a hobby that's more expensive than mine... So I never need to sneak anything. Still, sometimes I'm not sure if that's something to be so happy about ;-) lol Any images I post on my personal builds are free to be used and shared under Creative Commons Attribution license, which means you can do what you want with them, on the condition you mention I'm the author.

So what do you get in the box? Well the first thing you find when you take the lid off is a 35 page instruction book on how to assemble 1055 parts into a Ducati! The book is well laid out in black and white line drawings, all the parts are numbered and divided into sub assemblies, the first being the engine.
The next thing you find once opening the inner box is a mass of red fairings, all very well packed in blisters. All of the plastic parts are on sprues, perfectly formed with not a sink mark or flash to be seen. Great care will have to be taken removing the parts! I may paint them with Italian Ducati red, I will see what I think when the time comes.
Next up are blister packs with all the cast metal parts. Cast quality is very good, and from what I have seen no clean up is required.
Well thats it for now, second layer will be explored (yes there is another layer!) once I start the build as that is where the engine parts are lurking!
Sorry about the first pic, forgot to resize it!!! lolFile Attachment(s): Nemesis attached the following image(s):

I found the second and third level! The cast parts are superb, the plastic parts are on sprues and pre painted so some touch up will be required once they have been removed, luckily I have the paint from my 1:12 scale build so no problems.Nemesis attached the following image(s):

That's a lovely kit! Are you planning to start the build straight away or it goes into the stash for now? I can't wait to receive mine to just unpack it and see the sprues, but into the stash it goes. I have too much on the go for now.

I see it now. Might be tricky to match the paint? Any images I post on my personal builds are free to be used and shared under Creative Commons Attribution license, which means you can do what you want with them, on the condition you mention I'm the author.
