    Lencap's thread about the TR model got me to thinking....

    Way back in 1994, two built 1/8 Pocher models were stolen from my apartment in Laurel, MD.

    TR - gorgeous two stage paint, braided steel brake lines added, and brass fuel injection pipes added (each hand-bent and not very accurate, but at least gave some added detail - the expert modelers here would laugh at the attempt!). If I dug through my photos, I could probably provide other identifying details - I remember some slightly flawed parts that might be unique.

    F40 - spare tire in the front boot (ordered direct from Pocher); a 1/64 F40 w/ antenna stuck in the roof and mini model of r/c transmitter, and a photo-reduced copy of Cavallino w/ the overview of F40 on the cover, both in the front passenger seat. These probably didn't survive with the model, though....

    I'd be really curious if either of these ever turned up in this little community. I don't know if F-chat was even around in 1994, but if it was, I sure didn't know about it, or I would have searched here for them then.
