Not seen any one building this on here so I thought I would stick mine up. Having built the standard Pocher kit this looks to be a lot more detailed and with the added electrics should turn into a great model.The parts and paint certainly look great although care needs to be taken on the splitter mounting rods as they look fragile.I found some glue was needed to keep the towing eye in place but the tyre was easy to fit as it simply requires pushing on and not warming up as some kits. The following pics show the first 4 stages. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Pack 2 This contains issues 5-8 and a nice looking book on supercars,as part of the subscription gifts. Issue 5 contains a brake disc and hub with some crisp details.Issues 6-8 contain engine parts but take care with the chrome bolts for the rocker covers as they are tiny and will easily go missing, I added a touch of glue to make sure they stayed in the holes.Not much to do at this stage but hopefully will start to get more to do in upcoming issues.

Nice start Al, and looking good already. I had a close look at the first couple of issues in my local WH Smith just after this was released and judging by the size of that front skirt and the wheel, this is going to be an impressively sized model when it's finished!
Good luck with the rest of the build.
