My last purchase was the holy grail for me. I've been looking for it for a long time and a few days ago I found the kit and the accessories for it from a company. It is the Pocher Ferrari F40 and the Autograph Transkit. Both kits are in their original condition. Only the mirror on the pocher kit has been severed to check that it is complete. The transkit, one of the very last, is put together especially for me. It will be delivered in a few weeks. As you can imagine, my fingers have been tingling since the acceptance. Since I now have to make room for it in my warehouse (according to my partner), I am forced to either use my 1:4 MWT Ferrari 288 GTO engine or my Pocher 1:4 Ducati Panigale Final Edition, also with Autograph Transkit, A Border model 1:32 Lancaster full detail is also included. I'm in a difficult decision. Maybe I can convince my better half to keep my treasures. Do you have a tip that can work!?!

Also received my RB18 kit. Could not resist to do a quick mock up. If all models are correct to scale, new F1 cars from 2022 are humongous. I wouldn't consider F2008 a small car,
but it looks tiny in comparison.

Interesting design for wheels. They have not made rims at all. Tires would directly fit onto uprights and then outside covers will attached directly to tires. No need to make hidden
rims in designer''s opinion. Quite unusual.

Will receive my kit maybe on Friday.
RB18 looks like it‘s the same system of rims/wheels as on the F1-75.
Do not know if the AMR22 will be the same because it’s an other designer.
And what system AlphaModels will use for there new 2022~ kits…

Nice transkit Martin, i had the very first edition from autograph for many years, but sold it a couple of years back as i had too much kits.

I bought myself Tameo`s MP 4/2 WCT kit and a Junkers Ju 52 to do the movie plane from where the eagles dare, but i have to copy the roof from the civil version to add it on the military version finaly to get a matching model.
Take a stand!

Hi Guido. You got the first kit and I got the last one he could put together. I look forward to the content. I also got a tameo hsb once. Montoya's BMW FW25 silver line SLK008. I started it but now the parts are too small for my fingers. Wish you all the best.
