My Italian isn't so smooth so I may be slightly mispronouncing Pocher. I think my German is a little better!

Nice build! Just a small tip for next time, when you have to mount the tires on the rims. Place the tires for a few minutes in hot water. This will soften the rubber and you can easily pull them over the rims.
Hi a couple months ago I came across your videos on building the 1/8 scale Pocher F1 Lotus and the more I kept watching them I started looking to see where I could get a good price on this particular model and I finally found it on Amazon , so I bit the bullet and purchase this model , at first I was a little hesitant because of the price but now since I received a model I can clearly see why this model cost so much , the detail in the craftsmanship and everything about this model is so incredible even the paintwork is outstanding , it's exactly what I would compare to a professional paint job that you would find on a real car , really like about your videos is you also include the tools that you used for the build such as the taps to pre-tap all your holes prior to using the screws , because that is something I would've never thought of , and I am really glad to see the technique that you used them out the tires onto the rams , because I noticed right away that the tires alone are not a soft compound or a soft material that you normally find in models , but instead it's a very hard compound or some kind of material but watching your video on how you did it by using the hairdryer is a great technique that once again I would've never thought of that , and even though I am 68 years old I have been building models since as a little kid and to this day I still enjoy building models and even though all of these years I am always still learning new things new techniques which also makes this hobby so thrilling and enjoyable , but I would like to say thank you so much for taking the time and billing a video such as this one to help people through the build process , but in the end the price for this model is definitely well worth it and I cannot wait to start my build , once again thank you from Charlie
Hi and thank you for the nice note! I hope you enjoy your build. Most of my modeling has been WWII military, but have been branching out to cars and motorcycles. Another method I have used to soften the tires for mounting is to soak them in fairly hot water for 4-5 minutes until they are pliable and easier to work with. Obviously the hair dryer method works too. I was surprised how rock hard the tires were! I personally think Pocher should supply the taps rather than the tiny screwdriver that is useless. Some of their screws are very weak so tapping and/or oil really helps. I did have one screw break off in the part and was quite the pain to remove!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum fertigen Modell 👍👍👍
Hat Spaß gemacht beim Zuschauen 🙂🙂🙂
This car brings back memories. When I was a kid my "aunt" from across the street would always bring me old books and magazines back when she went home to Britain for a visit. One of those books was about race cars and this beauty was on the cover. I fell in love with it instantly. It may look outdated now, but when I was a kid, it was a marvel.
Hi: I still think it looks pretty awesome! Do you still have that book?
@@splashbakermodelbuilding I'm not sure. There is a half decent chance its packed away. Looks like I may be getting dusty soon lol.
Great build.
I had a radio of the 72D. Very good memories.
Thank you.
Really nice job. I have been following you as I build mine. Just getting my replacement exhaust header after a month of trying. So until I get the one part, I am stuck. But your build experience will eliminate either mistakes or trial and error fits. I use hot water to get tires on their rim.The kit promises to be a beauty. Your build proves that 100%. Thanks a million.
Just finished mine. Loved the build. Thanks for the tips
very very good job !! love the result so detailed 🤩
Well done. Really enjoyed watching the build. As you know its been helping me with my build. I did smile at the end section about the exhaust headers. Hope others dont have the same problems I had with mine. Also have the problem with the seatbelt webbing being too short.
I do feel that for the cost of this model the quality control should be better however, Pocher do provide the updates, but it does slow the build
I built one if these back in the 70s when it was still an Entex kit. Luckily I still have it in many pieces
I’ve done mine… thank you for your videos who helped me a lot!
Hi & thanks for watching! I found a few steps tedious, but builds up into a nice model!
Colin Chapman would approve.
Great build, excellent videos.
Great job. I have enjoyed following the build.
Thank you! There were a few frustrating moments, but turned out nice.
Stunning 😊
Well done! Looks great!
Thanks!! 😀
Thank you so much you've saved me from making several blunders - really appreciated the tool list at the end of the build
Thanks for watching! There were some frustrating parts, but overall, it's a nice kit! 🙂
Hello Splash from the UK! Great Lotus build, loved the presentation and your attention to detail. I'm suitably inspired and will be picking one of these kits up in the New Year... I've subscribed, look forward to seeing plenty more and keep up the good work ok :-)
Hi and thank you. It's a fun kit sprinkled with a little frustration, but they do make very impressive displays. Hope you enjoy building yours. I'm looking for my next project! 🙂
nice build!
Well done!
Thank you!
good job
Compliments.😍
Nice job 👍👍 I really enjoyed the series even though I'd already completed each stage before watching your videos.
My tyres were rock hard too - I dropped them in a cup of water that had just boiled. After about a minute they were soft enough to stretch over the wheels.
I also lightly scuffed the rolling diameter of the tyres to take the shine off and also remove the mould line but I guess that sort of thing is personal taste.
I have been debating about the tires. I sometimes mount tires on my Dremel to simulate wear, but those would be 1:24 or 1:12 tires. But yes, I should at least remove the mold lines. Did you polish yours with anything in particular? I still have some residue and some light scratches and one scuff on the rear spoiler which came that way.
@@splashbakermodelbuilding The only parts I polished were the two large painted curved side pieces as they had fairly obvious paint damage. i used some car paint polish (autoglym) i had in the garage which seemed to do a good job. Luckily there was no obvious marks on any of the other painted pieces.
The easiest way is to attach the wheel with a nut to a drill chuck and use 600 grit emery paper. It gives a great Matt finish that is more uniform. Definitely recommend the hot water bath for the tyres - so much easier to get the rims on.
When you’re messing with a rubber tires that are like rockhard put them in a bowl of boiling water and you’ll see how easy it is to manipulate the rubber to get onto the hub
Thinking about buying one. The tires I agree with boiling water for all things plastic and rubber but also you can use a little dishsoap on the wheel as well.
Hi there! It's a fun build, but some frustrations... Yes, I soak tires in hot water or as in this video, a hair dryer. I've had good results with both. Let me know if you get the kit and what you think. I pre-order their next one, the Porsche 917; I'm really hoping for some improvements in the instructions! 🙂
@@splashbakermodelbuilding Yeah I just purchased one from Hong Kong seller US$560 + $130 shipping just to good of a deal. So I expect to get it in about 1 1/2 weeks time. I started out looking at the Tamiya 1:12 scale 72D then moved and thought about the Agora Lambo Miura but the panels looked a bit off so I decided that might get corrected with a couple of production runs so I would hold off. Then watching your build I was like yeah that is the one. Have you done a Agora model build yet?
@@jbar100 Sweet! I hope you enjoy it. No, I haven't done an Agora kit yet, but I have been looking at them. I have the 2 big DeAgostini kits to get through and I pre-ordered the Pocher Porsche 917 which is supposed to be out in the summer, but knowing them, it will be delayed. I did pick up the Fujimi small scale version to get familiar with the 917. I didn't do much enhancement to the Lotus (it was my first F1 and not familiar with them), but I want to be ready for the 917. Keep me updated on your kit. It really does look great once assembled.
Expensive !
Finished mine also it was quite the experience 😢 oh and putting the tires in some boiling water helps
Hello Splash,
Great series of videos, I found them to be a terrific help. Did you forget to mount the wee flags on the body? Old buffers like me call these "transfers" but you probably refer to them as "decals". Best Wishes from Bonnie Scotland. Colin.
Hi: Yes, I did forget to add the flags! I'll have to go back and do that. Thanks for mentioning. 🙂
Great video - I've just bought this kit. What tool do you use to apply the glue? What paint, dropper, do you use to add the black? More questions likely to follow, but again, thanks - great series to help build my confidence starting this project.
Hi and thanks for watching. I usually apply the glue with a syringe, I just dab some on the tip. I bought a small box of syringes from Amazon. The accent black (panel line) is a Tamiya product, available in different colors, I usually just use black. It comes with a small brush and so I just use the brush. I load up the brush, then dab some off so it doesn't glob or pool on the part. I try to lightly dab in corners and creases and let the capillary action do the rest! As I was building, I received many valuable comments and tips so reading those might help too! There were some frustrating moments for sure, but overall, it builds into a very nice looking kit!
Habe das Modell mit Ihnen gebaut ist wirklich schön geworden. Ich möchte den Pocher Ferrari Testarossa bauen finde aber keine Videoanleitung wo gibt es eine solche.Lg.
Hallo: Ja, ich fand den Bausatz gut gelungen! Ich wollte den Pocher F40 bauen, aber da er nicht mehr erhältlich ist; Es ist teuer, bei eBay zu kaufen. Ich denke, als nächstes probiere ich ein paar DeAgostini-Bausätze aus ... Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen! LG
what size tap are you using for pre-tapping the holes prior to using the screws ? And are you using more than one tap to thread the holes ? Since there are different screws , or would you happen to know the size of the screws ? If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it or someone else out there purchase model and pre-tapped everything and know what size screws these are and what taps are needed to pre-thread the holes I really would like to know instead of just guessing and buying somethhing I don't need ? Thank you
Hi there: Check the screw sizes on page 3. You will need a M1.5 and M1.7 tap. I bought mine on Amazon. You will need a micro tap handle and maybe a pin vise. As I recall, one of my taps was too small for my tap handle so I used a pin vise. Some of the screws are fragile so pre-tapping is recommended with a little oil. Larger screws seem to do fine with just oil. I would also recommend quality screwdrivers! Good luck with your build; it makes a nice presentation!
Hello. Thank you for sharing this build. Could you tell me where you purchased your tapping set? Please.
Hi: I purchased the taps off Amazon.com and I purchased the tap handle off eBay. Thanks!
I've seen other builders put tires in boiling water to soften them. I think the hair dryer might not be enough heat.
Hi: I've used both with good success, but I prefer the hair dryer/heat gun method personally.
Merci Fantastic Job and video. Sorry for my english... I had the same problem with the belts .... and it s hard to find the same belt on internet.... i am looking for .... I like your tools to remake the good Can you tell me me where to find It ?
Hi: I purchased most of my tools from Amazon.com. I bought the micro tap set (M5 is the main one you need) and you'll also need a micro tap handle. A pin vise might work as well. The Wiha screwdrivers are excellent and widely available (at least in the US). I would check Amazon or a craft store and buy some ribbon to use for the belts. Hope this information helps and thanks for watching!
Salut : J'ai acheté la plupart de mes outils sur Amazon.com. J'ai acheté le jeu de micro-robinets (M5 est le principal dont vous avez besoin) et vous aurez également besoin d'une poignée de micro-robinet. Un étau à broches pourrait également fonctionner. Les tournevis Wiha sont excellents et largement disponibles (au moins aux États-Unis). Je vérifierais Amazon ou un magasin d'artisanat et j'achèterais du ruban à utiliser pour les ceintures. J'espère que ces informations vous seront utiles et merci d'avoir regardé !
Hi Splash, any Idea on the next build?, I think the Lotus looks great, nice work.
Thanks! I have a pile of kits; it's hard to choose. I have the DeAgostini Ford GT and Yamaha YZR which I really want to get back to. Believe it or not, most of my modeling has been WWII armor and I have a Dragon Wagon and BR52 I also want to tackle with the full PE kits so they will be a challenge. Any suggestions? 🙂 I also do war gaming. If you watch my 500 subscriber video, I show my build list.
@@splashbakermodelbuilding Hi Splash, I also build armour, hard to pick but I'm sure it will be a good series, the Yamaha sounds interesting.
Car turned out great. Nice job. Do you happen to have a list of parts you had to get replaced or were missing?
Hi: Just the two items I mentioned at the end of the video, the headers and the belt material. My headers were correct, but several viewers mentioned they did not receive the 8 unique headers. The headers have numbers on them so you should have 1-8. It seems everyone was shorted the belt material. I have heard Pocher will send more material if asked, but it's just ribbon and can be easily found.
@@splashbakermodelbuilding Hi, will did you get your replacement parts from, Hornby US or ?
@@robertgosnell2845 Hi: I used customercare@hornby.com, but my headers were correct so I didn't need those and I just found other belt material. I used this email address to request a missing part on another Pocher kit I had (the Aventador) and they sent it right out, but Royal Mail takes a little while...
Hey Splash, is there a link to the 1.5mm screw tap bit, as well as the micro wrench thingie?
Hi: I added the link to the tap in the description. I don't have a link for the pin vise or the tap handle; I bought them a long time ago and not sure where. But try to get a micro tap handle, but even still, smaller taps will be too small so the pin vise works well. Thanks!
how long did it take you to build this model from start to finish?
Hi: Approximately 30 hours.
hi there can i ask what size taps are you using and where can i get some from thanks
Hi there: Check out the screw sizes on page 3. You will need a M1.5 and M1.7 tap. I bought mine on Amazon. You will need a micro tap handle as well and maybe a pin vise. As I recall, one of my taps was too small for my tap handle so I used a pin vise. Thanks for watching!
This needs a large Transkit. It is hardly any more detailed than the 40 year old Tamiya 1/12.
Vaseline for the tires!
Weisst du schon, was du als nächstes bauen wirst?
Hallo! Danke schön! Der Bau hat Spaß gemacht und ich bin mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden. Ich dachte, ich könnte mit dem DeAgostini Ford GT wieder anfangen. Ich sammle auch die Teile für die YZR! Irgendwelche Vorschläge? LG
Die Yamaha YZR...Die baue ich auch und könnte mir dann von dir wieder einiges abschauen 😉
Die Ducati von Pocher haben wir ja auch zusammen gebaut 🙂🙂👍
Sad you just built this out of the box and did not really do anything to improve the whole thing....
