Reference Materials for The Pocher Enthusiasts

We don't just do custom built models and enhanced parts. We also help the Pocher do-it-yourselfer with a series of books, Reference CD's and Digital Build Journals aimed at improving the Pocher modelling experience.

Whether you're looking for an obscure picture of a prototype engine or interior or need helping getting those brakes to work, our reference materials are just the ticket to help you maintain your sanity.

We also are pleased to offer for online viewing or download, all of the Pocher instruction manuals.

Whatever you need - reference pictures, ideas for interior colors, "how-to" tips, or just something to help you fall asleep at night - We've got just what your looking for.

Our Latest Digital Journal

Our latest digital journal, Building the Alfa Coupé is now available as a CD/Rom. Follow along as we build the rarest of the Pocher Alfas and reveal hundreds of tips and details.

This journal has a section on painting Pocher bodies as well as tips on wiring and scratch-building details. This is not a how-to, Tab-A-into-Slot-B sort of journal, but it is nearly as much fun as building the model itself.

Over 140 high-resolution photos make this a perfect companion to our Alfa book and to our Modifying the Pocher Alfa Spider journal.
