Amazing kit given the vintage. It's going to need some replacements ,decals and straps I suspect.

I built this kit 40 years ago, when K-Mart was practically giving the Pocher/Tyco kits away. It's a good-looking model when finished, but the drive chain pretty much sucked. I replaced the drive chain and sprockets with stuff from a miniature engineering parts company.

The straps look in good condition, and the stickers probably will be unusable, but with a little CA glue, they'll do the job and I like the "old" look of them

The Fiat F2 was the original Pocher 1/8th scale car kit from way back.
This looks like a fine work in progress by Malacaco, and worth the attention to detail being put into this model.

I guess your description is the best there is
I can't say I enjoyed it that much, because the feeling I have after finishing it is something like " I'm glad it's over"
