Just a few pics of my sort of finished out of the box build Panigale. I say sort of finished as although its all together i'm not quite happy with some of it so going to strip it down and add some paint here and there and maybe a few bolts on areas that are seen. Its a lot slimmer than the Busa at the front  I know Pocher have had some stick over using screws and how the exhaust goes together and of course the instructions or lack of but to be fair I enjoyed building it and on the whole everything fitted together well. The main niggles I have are the metallic decals which have to be placed right first time and will easily get snagged if you need to dust the model. Also the footpegs seem to droop way below the horizontal and just look wrong. Would I buy another? most definitely and Pocher have to be congratulated on dipping there toe into the quarter scale bikes. Thanks for looking Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Very nice Al, looks cool!! 
I'm not into real bikes, though they are fun to build as models and I have built a handful over the years, but I have to say that to me any Ducati is very attractive and always draws my attention - I think it's the lovely red colour and the clean lines that they usually have?
Well done, nice job.

Looks fantastic, well done. I agree with you that there are areas for improvement, i will be stripping the parts I have built and painting them.

Hi Al, I have to admit, Ducati do make beautiful bikes, and that kit looks quality as well. You have certainly done justice to her. I suppose we all feel that there are areas of a build we are not happy with, because we spend so much time on them. To me though, your build looks brill  Regards Gray

Lovely one Al.
As you say, a great 'fun' kit to build.
Pocher really are (were) good these days. I've got a Hurracan on the way and I'll be posting a build as soon as I start it.
Hopefully you'll put the bike in a display case? Dusting it will be a nightmare.
Roy.
