We have the first look at the Pocher 1:8 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” model kit. If you’re not familiar with the brand, Pocher models kits are a DIY project, you the end-user put the model together from scratch. Each part is nicely detailed, this particular kit consists of 1300 parts. A first for Pocher, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” will feature real working headlights and interior light, even the taillights work! The interior also features working steering and folding down steering wheel. Impressive to say the least! Model should be on shelves sometime in Q2 2016.
Other Pocher kits soon to be released are the 1:8 models in the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 – Giallo Midas (Pearl Effect) and Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 – Rosso Mars (Metallic Red).
Pocher did use working headlights on the “old” classic series, but since you had to make it pitch dark to see it, I hope they used leds this time.
I did not know that. The brand is surely older than I.
I think the Huracan kits are also 1:8th scale. Pocher concentrates all of it’s efforts to this scale – at least in modern times.
Correct, apologies.
ALL MODELS, 1:18, AND LARGER, SHOULD INCLUDE THE OPTION OF A WIRING KIT( LED ), FOR MORE REALITY….
ONLY ONE DISPLAY CASE MFG OFFERS MINI EXTERIOR LIGHTS…WHAT’S THE PROBLEM…???
