    Coming from Top Marque in 1/12th scale the 1966 P3. I have the Mini Delta 1/12th model already, and it is absolutely perfect.

    Tecnomodel 512S in 1/12th scale, Lemans 1970. Can't tell from these angles is the body is correct.

    Along with all the other scales, FPPM is now doing 1/8th wire wheels. For the XKE and 8C kits so far.

    I have almost all the Pocher kits except for the Mercedes and Bugatti ones... and they are ..... ok. The Ferrari kits leave a lot to be desired, and it takes a lot of work to make them look presentable. The F-40 Kit especially takes a lot of work to get the stance and details right. I hope they engineer the kits better this time around.

    I’m quite anxious about the prices of new Ferrari kits.

    They are heavy. Most Pocher Ferraris I've seen look like their suspension has failed (sagging).

    I just bought the 1/18th scale version. It's a very nice model, but the stance on my example is off, as if the body is tilted backwards. I guess I'll either have to raise the rear ride height or lower the front one.

    Yes, you are correct. to make them sit right you have to modify the spring perch, and shim it with plastic spacers... a bit like the real thing. it can be done, but its not an easy process... I think the problem is really all the cheap plastic used... it is not very strong, and as you said the models are heavy so there is a lot of weight on those suspension arms.

    I took the very lazy option of placing a small piece of wood under the F40 so that it sat correctly.

    Wheels look off but the body might be all new, not a re use of another companies model.

    Werk 83 1/12th P4 coming soon.
