The Brand new 1/8 Pagani Utopia from Pocher is Imminent...

[@MrScipio72]

What a great looking vehicle and kit. Tossing up on this or an MFH 1/12 kit for my birthday later this year. However, I'll just have to stick with watching you vicariously for the time being.

Hi Nigel, please can you advise me, my Lancaster Bomber would you use a matt or satin varnish?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Definitely matt Bill.. they were beaten up very quickly.

[@billgriffiths1685]

@NigelsModellingBench thanks mate, always ask a pro. Love the channel.

[@justynmason4225]

I've just pre ordered this, it looks amazing.

Hello, do you know what new product is to be announced by Pocher on January 29 - it would be nice if they reopened the Ducati motorbike

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I don’t, but if I did I wouldn’t be allowed to tell you.

[@evilbobthebob]

If you have a PDF of the manual, you can draw on it in Adobe Acrobat PDF reader. I don't think you can save those edits without a "pro" version though.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks. I was meaning that there are those that have the ability to scroll through the manual and mark it live on their pre recorded video.

[@evilbobthebob]

@@NigelsModellingBench The Adobe reader should be able to do that then

Hi Nigel. Firstly my apology as this has absolutely nothing to do with this video but thought comments on your latest video would get your attention. One of the first of your build series I watched was the border models Stuka build. I thought it excellent and gained many methods, hints and tips. So much so I bought the kit meaning to rewatch the series and build along. However, when I googled border models Stuka build, your videos were top hit but they are all marked as private video. Have you taken them down? I would sincerely like to do this build next and would value your input from the series. For example I recall you spotted a control column was wrongly placed but can’t recall the fix. Trust you and Dottie are well and TY for your continuing videos.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Ok, I’ll put the series back up for you.

[@iancarlin4694]

Oh your a gent. Thanks a million

Hi Nigel, Thank you for the preview. I was looking at the car, (real and Pocher) and the dashboard seems a bit disappointing, the decals for the instruments don't look like the real thing at all, it lacks depth, it would be OK in 1/24 but not in 1/8. I think that it would look great with 3d printed decals like Red Fox or La Quinta and recess them with a glass in front. 👋🏻

I'm in 2 minds about Pocher... They look very toy like in some respects when made just out the box. Can be great bases to make something amazing but at a hefty price. I feel an 1/12th MFH kit is the better value and certainly challenges the modeller if that's what they like.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I agree, MFH are wonderful kits, but most of Pochers audience would struggle with a MFH kit. I believe Pocher is made to give a great 1/8 model of a given subject that is easy to build for the novice. MFH are awesome models that require a lot of skill to assemble, plus remember, nothing in an MFH kit is prepainted.

[@JayC133]

@ I wonder if Pocher do "naked" versions of their kits to paint ourselves? Great idea or not worth it?

[@colinhenry3551]

I would like to see another older classic from Pocher ,have built the Rolls Royce Ambassador and Alpha Romeo 2300 ,from the classic range ,although some of the mouldings and engineering back then were some what a challenge ,I enjoyed re engineering quite a lot of it ,

[@seanmain3081]

⁠@@JayC133 No, they do not sell “naked” versions. Why would they? That is not their business model. Painting a 1/8 scale is not the same as painting a smaller scale model. It is more difficult and you would have a bunch of hack modelers complaining after they screw up their model. Also unclear why people compare this or any 1/8 kit to a MFH kit. Pocher kits are made to just assemble. MFH kits are made to drive the builder insane. You have to have mad skills and even more patience to get the best out of one of those kits. Visually, 1/8 is a far better scale to view the details than a 1/12 or smaller kit. Now, with that said, I would love a “naked kit” as I usually strip the shitty paint off anyway and repaint it. So I do agree with you, however it will never happen. I am an avid builder of only 1/8. I currently have 6 1/8 cars on my bench. 3 F40LMs, 2 F40 that are heavily modified and a 3D printed 935K3, which is stunning and so far, a pretty easy build. None of these are the horror stories I hear about the MFH kits. Great question.

[@bryan26762]

Yeah yeah.... Out of the box build. It'll never happen ;)

[@Yves95128]

Keep it quiet🤫

[@DanielRutishauser]

I wonder how this Car works, completely without Cables…

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I assume you are referring to lack of wiring detail? This is how modern supercars are made, everything is in conduits.
