One thing to keep in mind is 1:8 scale is absolutely HUGE! The amount of detail is stunning.
Pocher also makes a roadster version that was just released.
Too bad they don't make an LP670. I would buy that in a heartbeat! There is very little chance of me getting actual splashes off that car! I did request that they do one and they responded that they can't comment on future models but they would keep it in mind.
Definitely, 1:8 scale is huge and you should see the builds at ScaleMotorcars to see how accurate the model is. Of course they have to incorporate screw holes in order to put the model together but other than that it's pretty darn accurate. Only one so far I see that actually has the monocoque separate from the front and rear subframes. That's insane accuracy but surprisingly it's not Porcher's most accurate model vehicle.
Saw the roadster, I think it looks great but I've never been a fan of any roadster vehicle. Just a personal preference.
When you say the LP670, you're talking about the SV racing car? If so I thought I saw someone building that in another forum. I was interested in the Murcie replica until the Aventador came out and then of course my interest shifted.
Also I've heard of Rob's dealings with people who've paid for parts before. He's a hit an miss kinda guy but luckily he does have a location in which you can go to in order to find out what's going on if I can remember correctly. Yes, I'd be wary of him too from what I've read considering it wasn't all good.
