I just got it!ย  Good light was fading fast so I only have a couple of decent photos.ย  The rest were pretty much a bust so I'll have to redo all of them.ย  Perhaps tomorrow I'll have good light to take photos.ย ย

Use your macro lens, Marty. I assume the parts count is 1000+ on this monster. I'm intrigued by the scale of the build, although that era Mercedes doesn't do much for me. I suspect this is a real tour de force of model making, which, if I wasn't retired I'd probably still consider buying.

A beautiful model in every regard. Now, where are you going to display it?

@bob-jackman - Space is definitely a problem.ย  In fact, at this moment I absolutely have no idea.ย  I'm doing some rearranging as we speak but it ain't lookin' too good.ย  I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and move some of the earlier, lesser models out of my display cabinets.ย 

I have two 1:8 scale Pocher models that eat up a lot of cubic display space.ย  If I move those two models that would free up space for approximately fourteen 1:18 scale models.ย  ย

I hear you on space problems. Kinds hard to take Pocher models off of display as they are a real attention getter. Good luck.

Yep! I too have been "looking closely" at this one (I'm a sucker for convertibles).ย  I like the standard 600 Pullman too.ย  These are really nice models with all that CMC detail.ย  Slide some of those gassers down Marty; you're gonna need the space!ย

@chris - I just moved two of my GIANT 1:8 scale Pochers to the garage.ย  That freed up a ton of space on my bottom shelf!

Hey, look at that. It fits in nicely and looks great! I didn't realize just how many Ferraris you had. Funny, you don't look Italian (well, maybe a little.......lol)ย  Auh, BTW: Better make a bit more room while you're at it. I believe those ACME Russ Davis 'Stangs are now available. Yours should be arriving soon. Cool ย
