A Pocher Ferrari Testarossa Finished, June 13th

OK, I took a couple of days off from the weathering O.D. tutorial and finished up the Ferrari Interior. I was surprised that a kit as expensive as the Pocher kits were, it didn't have any carpeting in the interior. I got some with the appropriate color from a doll house shop and started carpeting. Most of this is out of the box with some paint, but I added details here and there such as the seat belts and some clear glass, Micro slips, (The micro thin covers for microscope slides), cut with a diamond stereo needle to fit, for the instrument panels. I took styrene rod, painted it the color of the interior and then laid it on the edges of the carpet as real floor covering has carpet edging made of vinyl. It has working steering and suspension, so, as I'm not following the instruction sheets much, I had to keep that in mind when installing the steering wheel.

Here are some pics!

Next up, the chassis.

Very cool Bob! I find it odd there was no carpet. The model I had came all kinds of cloth and leather. :idonno

I know, I have an unbuilt Mercedes 540K from Pocher. I've had it for years, but I seem to remember the last time I looked at it, it even had leather covers for the seats.

The Testerossa is a very big car compared to the other ones, maybe they tried to cut costs.

Thanks Jeff,

Well, all the company is gone for a couple of weeks anyway, but enough time to finish up this monster. BTW, if anybody tells you these Pocher kits are an easy build, forget it. What a pain in the butt! Anyway, it's complete and I'm calling it finished.

Here is a shot of the side, everything is displayed open.

A different angle.

Four shots of the engine compartment. I always put a lot of detail in the engines and then most of it gets covered up when they are dropped in.

[

A couple of interior shots., Again a lot of lost detail.

A shot of the luggage compartment.

From the Front.

From the rear.

Through the windshield.

One last shot with a comparison with a 1/32 scale MGTC. The Ferrari weighs about 30 pounds. It is really heavy!

Well, glad it's finished, now back to some armor!
