Eight reasons to make Pocher your next premium model build

Long-term Pocher modellers know there are plenty of reasons to build a Pocher model, but if you’re new to the brand, or you need a little more convincing, here are just some of the reasons a high-quality, premium Pocher kit deserves a place on your workbench.

1.      Pocher is the original large-scale model kit brand

Pocher released its first 1:8 scale model kit all the way back in 1966 and has built a legion of fans ever since. The first kit was a Fiat 130 HP F2, which wowed the world with its incredible detail and authenticity.

The brand originated from Trento, Italy, placing its roots at the heart of the country’s rich automotive culture. This background gives us a unique perspective when it comes to designing model kits.

Over the past 60 years, our reputation for creating high-quality kits has grown. And while other brands have tried to imitate us, none have quite managed to recreate the magic of Pocher.

2.      When we say these are large scale, we mean it!

Most of our kits come in 1:8 scale. This means every curve, contour and component is faithfully recreated at 1/8^th of the size.

However, when it comes to our motorcycle models, these are made in 1:4 scale, making them incredibly impressive additions to your workbench.

3.      They are made with premium materials, with a high metal content

Most model kits are made with plastic, but Pocher models have a high metal content, supplemented with other high-quality materials. Metal is a better option for premium, authentic builds, giving the finished model a natural weightiness and making it far more durable. The result is a premium finished model, perfect for display.

4.      These are some of the most highly detailed model kits on the market

Pocher kits are designed to capture the look, feel, and engineering of the real thing, with every detail of the original car meticulously studied and then incorporated into the finished model. In fact, we take this job so seriously that Pocher model kits come pre-painted, so we can ensure your finished model matches the original car perfectly.

5.      Even the instruction manual follows the process of building a real car

Your model kit journey begins with building the engine, piece-by-piece, just like a real car. You’ll then assemble the kit in the same order that a manufacturer would build a full-sized vehicle, giving you the most authentic build experience.

6.      All the pieces you need to complete your kit are in the box

This allows you to build your model kit at your own pace. There’s no subscription scheme drip-feeding you pieces, so your progress is never disrupted while you are waiting for the next delivery. How fast or slow you build is up to you.

7.      Our model kit subjects reflect some of the most exciting vehicles ever made

We lean towards classic and premium cars and bikes, so you can get closer to the vehicles that only a select few can ever hope to drive. And we choose each kit based on feedback from our customers, so we know they are the subjects you consider to be the most iconic and unforgettable.

8.      Our models are excellent value for money

We know that the price point of a Pocher model kit is higher than that of a plastic model kit, but they offer excellent value in the world of premium builds. We take care to ensure you’re not paying more than a model kit you might buy on subscription, and many of our competitors are far more expensive. In fact, some of our heritage models have gone up in value, making a Pocher model kit a rewarding investment for serious modellers who like the finer things in life.

Ultimately, the greatest reason to build a Pocher model is the feeling you get when the final piece is in place. It’s the pride of completing a premium large-scale kit, the satisfaction of seeing every detail come together, and the pleasure of owning a beautifully engineered model of an extraordinary machine. If you’re ready for a build that feels every bit as rewarding as the finished result looks, Pocher is a model-making experience like no other. Browse our premium model kit range here.
