Re: 1/8 Lotus 72 Pocher...
Oh, ok. I’m sorry, I’m juggling a 100 things right now. The 4/4 is a good entry. The 312 looks a look odd, but I’ve never really liked that car.
I had both new Lambos and sold them. I didn’t find that that interesting either after I bought them. But they were very well designed and produced. One of my faves was a $30.00 RC Hennessy Venom that I bought to practice painting large scale bodies. I bought three and they are awesome. Easy to take apart, prep and paint and the results for a $30.00 model were shocking for the price. Really nice BBS style rims, great tires. I still have one I haven’t painted. I learned a lot off those. I was not very good at painting, but I feel that I can hold my own now.

SeanMAIN, your 1/4 scale MP4/14 sure is interesting. Are you going to build a full detail model?
The MP4/4 was out of stock, and I’m not 100% convinced about the quality of 312T4, so I played it safe and placed a pre-order for Duck R final edition. Now all I have to decide if I’ll use Paul Koo’s or Autograph’s detail set.

This is discussed at some length over on Britmodeller and Pochers brand manager has contributed, interesting and bodes well for this and future releases.

Re: 1/8 Lotus 72 Pocher...
MPK...you will not be unhappy with the Duck. The size and detail are just nuts, even without a detail set. I have the second bike, and will be preordering the third from Uli/Autograph.
As for the 4/4, it started out as an RC car, so the only detail I can add is to the brakes and the cockpit, as well as getting the paint right. The brakes will be turned aluminum and HUGE!. It’s a big platform, so a very long runway for a curbside.

That’s where I placed my pre-order. I’m also tempted to get 1/4 Honda 750...

Autographmodel is great. I’ve been buying from them for years. Very professional. I’d go for the Honda if you can. These bigs bikes are great.
I hope Pocher can maintain some stability and push out a few interesting kits. That Cosworth opens some doors. I would assume the Lotus 79 could be next. Pocher seems to make several from one manufacture, Lambo, Ducati. Too bad the Lotus 107 wasn’t more successful. I like that car and it’s variations.
McLaren would be a great place to mine some gold. The winning LeMans F1 would be awesome.

I like the 72 and would consider it, but my choice would be a Lotus 49 since they are tooling the ford DFV. I like the Tyrrell 003 also for 1/8.
Re: 1/8 Lotus 72 Pocher...
I would likely see a re edition of the Kyosho MP 4/4 in 1:8, very nice engineered!
Take a stand!
Re: 1/8 Lotus 72 Pocher...
If the MP4/4 was to be re-released let's hope that it is somehow offered through someone OTHER than Model-Space, sold as a complete kit and includes the "extras" that were sold on a completely stupid lottery system in Japan only. At least make them optional add-on purchases.
While I'm dreaming it would be nice if Model-Space stopped being such a poorly run company, actually provided good customer service, and didn't have such misleading advertising and sales practices.
