Pocher 1:4 Ducati Superbike 1299 Panigale S Anniversario + Hardware-kit of Paul Koo [COMPLETED BULD]

Unlike the first model in 2016, which had black mufflers with chrome covers, they are applied to this one of titanium with carbon: Akrapovic's.

I closed the screw holes in the exhaust pipes. The just don't quite have the right color. The pair you see now will soon be covered.
Paul Koo recommends that all holes and cracks be closed and then sanded, plastered and sprayed in its entirety. But that went too far for me now.

Very realistic looking model.
I didn’t even know that a model like this existed.
Excellent work with outstanding details.
 
Hi Julián, thank you very much for the visit, the likes and your reply with complements.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Regards, Peter
Hi Peter,

Thanks for putting this extensive build thread online, I have just received my order, I got the Final Edition version from Pocher, and from the write up you have done, plus the excellent bolts, decals and dvd from Paul Koo, I think I can make quite a good attempt at mine

Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard.
I see this is your 1st post on the SoS. A warm welcome.
I'm delighted that my build log is an inspiration to you. Glad you have a Final Edition! Maybe you can be persuaded to also make a build log of your build? I'm curious as to how much the FE differs.
Regards, Peter

This is a very good idea and I fully underline the wish of another building log of such a model

So Richard,
please start also a building log
and by the way: sending also a warm welcome here on board of our forum
 
Hi Peter, I haven’t been following the forum for some time now, I thought that I’d have a quick look again and the first item I saw was your Ducati. I’m sorry now that I missed your progress as I was also building the same model after I was inspired by your early logs. I must say that whilst mine went pretty well it never came close to the detail of yours so well done on a superb job, unlikely to be equalled by many a modeller.

I hope that you don’t mind but I’ve attached a picture of my finished build.

I got a bit disheartened with my Ajax and put it in the attic and there it remains, some day maybe I’ll finish it.

I have been busy with different types of models but have not posted for a long time, but I got an Occre 231 Pacific Train for Xmas and I’ve decided if there’s an interest I’ll start a log soon.

Hi Ken. Indeed a long time ago we were in contact. Nice to see you Duc outside on the street. It looks great. Please start the magnificent engine! :D
When the weather becomes better and my photo-friend has time, I have plans to make also outside pictures. Together with my K1. In front of my house we set them together in perspective, that they look the same size. But then we gave to close the street for a while. :)
I am looking forward to the build of that train. I made a metal one from Model-Space. I transferred the Japanese black-white one into German black-red.
Hopefully you get energy for your Ajax. Between the 2 periods of building my Lee where also many many years.
Ps:
My Admiral is collecting energy to use the yarn from your Admiral. Last month see found another old color and can go on.
Regards, Peter

Impressive build of an impressive machine! Well done.

Lord knows how much your project cost; personally I'd invest in real hardware which, if done wisely, would increase in value.

Any finished kit instantly devalues considerably. But your hobby activity provides you with pleasure.

This last weekend I was introduced to a collector of genuine, historic GP bikes.
Generously he presented me with these parts from one of his MV Agusta 500 triples; the result of too much use of the right wrist.

A genuine relic of an iconic GP racer; now someones very expensive hobby.

It's my job to find a way to suitably display these remains.

One man's junk...another man's treasure.

Good old MV Agusta times with Agostini and Read. I think the piston was not the only damage?
Nice relic’s for in the vitrine!
Regards, Peter
 
Peter, hi.

The 500 MV is a 1971 example.
There's a good chance I saw Ago riding it in anger back then.

There's a small bunch of workshops to turn to when this sort of thing happens.
No original factory parts available.....only a handful were ever built.

Fortunately the cottage industry keeps these machines running.
Indeed complete accurate replicas are now made.....if you have hundreds of thousands £ to spend.

My new friend has two triples and a four. What a priviDSCF1600.JPGlidge to see and touch.
 
Hi Peter,
For some reason, your posts haven't been coming to me this last year, but now I've seen your finished result and it is superb!
It looks as if you could just start it up and ride off into the sunset.
A lovely build - well done!

Thanks, Ted. When I close my eye and let my mind free .......... yes, I hear it ..... that roaring sound of that beautiful two-cylinder :)
 
I'm just starting this kit now. So ill be looking around and asking a lot of questions on the detailing part of this model.

Which version do you have? The Final Edition?
You will have a lot of fun building it. Perhaps starting a build-log? Fore sure you will have responds, even on you questions during the build.
Regards, Peter
 
final edition. Got it for $750 shipped from model expo.2 days later the kit went back up to 1299.00
the one thing I want to do is install the photoetched radiator grill from autograph so I'm trying my best to see if they'll sell me just that plate. The radiators are rather boring on this kit. I'm guessing people are using bare metal foil for hose clamps or maybe use tiny zip ties painted in silver.
