The 1:8 scale model kit manufacturer, Pocher, is rekindling its celebrated partnership with the iconic brand Ferrari. This announcement is not merely a nostalgic re-release of their highly sought-after initial offerings—though any potential upgrades to those classic kits would be a welcome development. Rather, this collaboration promises something more significant: a commitment to producing new, contemporary, and classic Ferrari masterpieces. This exciting development ensures that both long-time collectors and a new generation of enthusiasts will have the opportunity to build and own meticulously crafted replicas of some of the world’s most revered automobiles.
When the most prestigious name in the automotive world joins forces with the ultimate manufacturer of premium model vehicle kits, you know you are in for something special.
If you remember the Pocher Ferrari model kits of the past, you’ll be delighted to know that we have revived our license agreement with the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer. You can expect to hear about upcoming model kits towards the end of next year – which car are you hoping to see first?
The enduring history of Pocher Ferrari model kits
In the past, Pocher has created several sell-out Ferrari kits, including the Ferrari Testarossa and the F40. Released in 1988, there were several versions of the Testarossa available, including the Coupe, Spider, ‘Black Star’ and the ‘Sportster’. The Pocher Ferrari F40 came soon after with different livery options to choose from.
These kits were adored for their exceptional detail and incredible craftmanship. They were real collector items that modellers found irresistible. But since then, there have been no new Pocher Ferrari model kits for hobbyists to admire. Finally, for the first time in over 30 years, we are able to right that wrong, thanks to our new license agreement.
What to expect from the new Pocher Ferrari kits
These 1:8 scale Ferrari model kits are now in the design stage, so we don’t have too many details to share just yet. What we can say, is that we will be recreating some of the most iconic vehicles of all time, as well as some newer releases to please modern car enthusiasts.
Brand MD, Scott Elsey, said: “We are proud to re-establish a partnership with Ferrari, an iconic name that, like Pocher, is synonymous with Italian heritage, excellence, and prestige. Our shared legacy reflects the deep synergy between our brands, and we’re excited to unveil new Ferrari models that will captivate collectors and enthusiasts around the world.”
What models can be expected, F430, F355 or something newer ?
I pray that the LeMans winning 499P, 488 Pista and Carlos Reutemann’s 1978 Ferrari 312T3 are part of the itinerary
