Italalian Pocher models are the most detailed DIY-build replicas you can could buy. These one eighth scale (nearly two feet long) repli-cars were sold between the 1970s and fairly recently. Each model had thousands of pieces made of exotic materials such as injection molded plastic and steel, brass, rubber, leather and canvas. In some kits you had to build each wheel spoke-by-spoke and in others a 1:8 scale key was included.

Oddly, for a company that was so proud of their models being totally true to life, two of their three Testarossa kits weren’t. Ferrari never made a Spider or Coupé Convertible and Pocher got the TR’s flat-12 intake manifolds all wrong, but we’ll give ’em a pass because of the pure intricacy of these no-so-mini machines. 

Aside from the three Testa kits, Pocher made a supplemental TR engine. There’s a seller with the instructional CD that includes a, “19 page manual in Excel format (also on paper), 368 construction photos, 171 amazing reference photos, and 22 exploded parts diagrams of the real engine.”

Want a Pocker K51 Testarossa? There’s a toddler’s handful on amazon.com, the cheapest TR going for $1,111.11.
