1972 Lotus 72D

Scale:: 1:8
Status:: Completed

Time spent:: 120~150 hours

First Pocher kit, built OOB with some detail painting, dry brushing and weathering.
Overall, great kit and outcome. Instructions were horrendous, and I relied heavily on the below two build threads:

Dry fitting is a must and every screw has to be "tapped". The braided cables were painful and not enough seatbelt ribbon was provided. The finish of the body panels is outstanding.

But I'm stoked with the kit and detail. I still prefer 1/24 kits but I would build another Pocher or 1/8 scale kit if I can find space to display it.
