Awesome, man. You might want to repost in the "Scale Models" sections though.

Hehe moved :D

That's insane. I posted that like 2 seconds ago, lol.

thanks everyone :)

nice picture of the McLaren its been consumed by the F40

damn, that is absolutely awesome! that is truly beautiful man.

What company is the kit from? And what size is that Mclaren ?

And as every body said absolutely beautiful .. Can't wait to see it all build ..

om my lord!! $4000 on one kit!! Id be SOO scared id screw up lol... i never finish even my $20 model kits... this thing would take me an eternity.

It's going to be based on the Pocher kit.

I say based on, because the 1/8 Pocher F40 is avery "reasonable" $800 or so. It is the super-super-super detail extras that have bumped the price of this model into the stratosphere - and will help elevate it from mere model to museum piece.

In a previous life I used to own a Hobby Store, and had a number of customers who built the Pocher 1/8 cars (F40, Testarossa and other 1920's Alfas and Ferraris)

On their own the Pocher kits are like giant metal Monogram kits - a great starting point for a decent model - but you need to purchase a myriad of detail add-ons to take the Pocher lits into Tamiya territory. :)

It looks awesome.

Your gallery makes for great viewing.

BTW - supercarfreak, I see you have lots of BBR's as welll.. :P

That is completely off the dial....I have a half built porsche 356 model I have been trying to finish, but after seeing that I am a little despondant...mine will look like a six year old built it. Absolutely fantastic.

thanks so much guys.

the mclaren is 1/12 scale.

yes, the base F40 kit is from Pocher, the aftermarket transkit is from autograph, a german superdetailing company.

I FINALLY have time to work on her again at last.

Also might purchase a 400-piece ALL METAL 1:8 scale F40 engine to display alongside the car when it's finished.
