Older build: Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro

[ZoomZoomMX-5]

I cleaned up my Tamiya Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro as someone was asking about the kit in the WIP forum. I built it about 5 or 6 years ago for my airbrush book. Mirrors were broken off and one rear turn signal was missing, and it was pretty dusty from sitting out. I made a new pair of rear turn signals from some odd parts box pieces, starting w/a couple of A/T LHD/RHD gearshift levers for a Celica . The model looks better w/o the missing mirrors so I won't replace them. 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

is that a twin turbo bike?!?!?! that's freakin' sweet!!!! when I hear MotoGuzzi I think of some old triumph or BSA type 70's bike that Steve McQueen would have ridden to jump a fence or some crazy stuff like that, not a bad mofo like that!!

Awesome job on a very cool kit. I finished one a couple months ago. It was probably one of my favorite bike builds.

I remember reading the "How to Airbrush" section on this bike, and I must say, it's quite a machine, and quite a nice model! Lovely color, fantastic finish on the engine, plus it does look much better without mirrors.

Nice Bike!

That's a bad Moto Guzzi. But somehow I doubt you paid for a chunk of his guitar that he smashed at his show. Great work, the gold on the exhaust is just... just... holy cow, amazing. I didn't think you could continue to amaze and surprise me, and you did.

I have to chime in and comment on how the great the exhaust looks from the gold on down...awesome body finish too! I saw one three days ago when I was in the Kerrisdale area in Vancouver and it was absolutely gorgeous, with low mileage too

With the skills you had then its just remarkable what you can do in the future. Awesome build, inspiring.
