Hmm, foray into F1 models for Pocher. That's going to be interesting.

Hopefully, they will continue and with something more modern. I just bought their 1/4 Ducati and it’s stunning.

Curious. Is the choice of 1/8th because the demographics of the modeler is over 50? Just asking.

I am more interested in the M23.

I’m over 50 and that’s all I build. That and 1/4 now. I am up to 14 cars and bike and counting. I am donating most to a museum in Los Angeles soon, but will continue to add.

I am 74 and only build 1/12th. Gave away most of my 1/24th to a friend and fellow builder. I built a 1/8th Pocher Alfa and an Entex 1/8th Lotus 72. I still like the 1/12th scale. Easier to display.
I have no idea what I will do with all of the built models when I am ready to go. There are no museums in Hawaii that would want them. Maybe I will contact the Porsche and Ferrari dealerships.

I’m over 50 and trying to get rid of kits smaller than 1/12 and hear the call of 1/8.
There are some quite interesting kits in 1/8 scale, Cobra 427 S/C, Ferrari F40 Competizione, Mercedes SLR Uhlenhaut, MP4/4, 312T4, Lotus 72 D, M23, but I’d hate to get started with overpriced ill-fitting toy-like kit.
