Pocher Rolls Royce

This is my Pocher 1:8 scale 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II tourer. I purchased it from a guy in the Trading Post some years ago - he couldn't finish it off. It's quite large at 72cm long and has over 2,900 parts in it. The wire wheels have to be manually assembled from many parts. I plan to restore it one day and will repaint it in black and yellow. There is a good website in America where they manufacture and sell Pocher parts, at www.modelmotorcars.com There are some terrific pictures of Pocher models to look at.

WOW, 2'900 parts. thats amazing. ive seen pics of the pocher f40 ferarri, are all there kits so big??? beautiful, it has more parts then some of my 1-1 cars and lol its nearly as big.
btw your pics for the 1930 bentley didnt come through, look forward to seeing them...

Looking at the upper bonnet panels Terry it looks like the previous owner new what he was doing when he built it !
The worst fitting parts on all the Pocher Rolls Royce's are those parts they are molded roughly 4 mm to long not profiled enough at the front of the panels and overhang the radiator shroud .
Is the Model painted ? If not thats half the battle when you come to restoring it .
I've built 4 of these Rolls kits now let me know when your ready to build it I'm only to happy to give advise .

Sorry I'm late with a reply Sean. No the model isn't painted (thank God), and yes I will contact you for advice when I'm ready to undertake the task of rebuilding it. When we settle in our new house I hope to get into it reasonably quickly.

she will look great once u restore her.

Channel it, section it and zed the frame...
