        A very brief tutorial to show how some superdetailing can dramatically change the stock appearence of a kits part.

        In this example, I'm using the Pocher Rolls front damper ....

        Pics 1 & 2 shows the part just off the sprue A tiny tutorial ~ Superdetailing Kit Parts ...

        Pics 3, 4 & 5 shows the part being deflashed, sanded, filed, drilled & tapped to receive some scale and/or special hardware....

        Pics 6, 7 & 8 shows the part painted and being buffed...

        Pics 9, 10, 11, & 12 shows the scale hardware in place....

        Pics 13, 14, & 15 show the finished part with the damper arm in place. This damper arm was polished and blued in its basrelief....

        Number of parts in the kit = 3
        Number of parts in the superdetailed counterpart = 17

        Pocher parts used = 1 (The damper body)

        New parts added =
        4 faux studed nuts (Dan's)
        3 hex brass bolts 00-80
        4 hex brass bolts 00-90 A tiny tutorial ~ Superdetailing Kit Parts
        2 allen bolts 00-80
        2 1 mm brass rivets
        1 damper arm (Dan's)

      As usual, Mario, a first rate tutorial. This is exactly the kind of thing SMC is designed for.
