Hi Roberto! I knda knew you had one available... It's tempting, I'll have to sleep a night or two before making a decision.

Re: 1/8 scale F1 kits
I've heard that if the Pocher Lotus 72D sells well they may do other versions - the 72C and 72E were mentioned. Don't know what constitutes 'sells well' but hope my pre order helps as a Gold Leaf version would be another must have.

Re: 1/8 scale F1 kits
I have owned but not built the new Pocher Lambos and I have their Ducati on deck to built. I sold off the Lambos, but I can tell you that the quality is nothing like the kits of old. They are amazing. So I would expect the Lotus to be as well.
And for any 643 builder that is in progress and that can use a set of setup wheels and some of the white metal parts that comes in their Grade-Up kit, I have parts that I will give up for free to an actual builder. I would not like them to pop up on EBay later. So if interested, PM me and we can discuss. I will respond to first come, first serve and I will only ship in the US, at your actual cost, no mark up on my end. It may take a day or two to respond, but I will respond.
BTW, the Grade-Up kit is very overpriced and not worth the $400-450.00 they sell for. Save your money. The photoetched parts are the only usable items in it.

I have heard that Lambos are good and seen that Ducati Anniversario is absolutely gorgeous.

Check out this build video of the Ducati. This guy is amazing. He also builds the Pocher Lambo and the Rossi Yamaha.

Re: 1/8 scale F1 kits
Yes, it is. I built the Rossi bike and it’s equally as nice. The only thing I did to that bike, as it’s prepainted, was to clear coat all of the body panels. Really glad I did that. I had an extra cowering and was able to practice on that. The Ducati will be a nice champagne. I bought the Paul Koo upgrade kit and I also have 3 Pocher display cases. I really like the 1/4 bikes. The detail is stunning in person.

Yes, the Paul Koo kit is well worth the price and a huge improvement. The Autograph transkit is very impressive as is the cost…
