Guzzi V10 Centauro

[Kiss My Axe]

Hello all,
not sure that's the right place for this thread, but i was wondering if anyone has built the Guzzi V10 Centauro from Tamiya?
cheers

I've started it but not yet finished it. Nice kit, not that many parts and an easy paint scheme.

I've built one, and one of my friends have built one. We both really like the styling of the Centauro. Wonderful kit-builds great, looks awesome. Sorry, I don't have any digital pictures though the model is featured in my book "How to Use an Airbrush".

I need to do some work on my Centauro; the mirrors broke (one is missing) and one of the turn signals is missing. Damned cats Actually it looks great w/o mirrors but the missing turn signal isn't something I have a spare of in my parts box.

I built this bike many years ago, one of first models so not the best example. But it was a nice kit to build and is a great looking bike when complete:

thanks for your replies
the bike arrived today in the mail box
i plan to paint it Red Mica

joelwideqvist, would you have any photos of the wip?

I cleaned up the Centauro and made some new rear turn signals. Looks better w/o the missing mirrors. OOB buildup, used candy green/blue paint mixture and a lot of metalizers. Neat bike, very rare and cool looking. I've never seen one on the road, but I have sat on one at a motorcycle show

That is one nice Centauro ZoomZoomMX5!! I like it a lot.

Kiss my axe: I'll see what I can dig out.
