Pocher, part of the Hornby Group*, has confirmed it will exhibit at this year’s Salon Privé.
After unveiling the first 1:8 scale kit of the Fiat 130HP back in 1966 at the Milan toy fair, Pocher began to earn a name for its meticulous detail and high quality models, including a Mercedes Benz 500K, Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 and a Ferrari F40, They were available to build up to 1998 when Pocher released their final model, the Porsche 911.
After joining the Hornby Group* in 2004, Pocher remained quiet and in the background, until December of 2012, when Hornby announced the “resurgence of a legend” in the coming year.
Salon Privé will be Pocher’s second outing with the new Aventador LP700-4 1:8 kit and in keeping with the Pocher tradition the car body of the 7 kg model is made of premium metal die-cast and comes ready painted. The kit is easy to build and can be assembled for both left-hand and right-hand drive. The 1:8 sportster kit consists of more than 600 parts made of an assortment of materials including pre-painted die-cast metal, rubber, textiles and premium quality plastic.
Offered in two colours, Arancio Argos and Bianco Isis, the Aventador kit will be shown at the Salon Privé Luxury Retail Village.
