MV Augusta 3 Cylinder

This was my last completed build over at ZMC and the subject of a Community Build.

The kit is from Italeri and is 1/9th in scale. It's not up to Tamiya standards but is nicely detailed and builds up very nice indeed.

Apart from the 'zip ties' it's completely box stock. Paint is Zero paints base Bright Red and base Coarse Metalic Candy. Gloss coat is automotive 2k. The engine and chain were treated to a blackwash.

I chose to display it without the fairing for two reasons:

1: It hides too much nice detail

2: I like to see these old bikes without their fairings








Resident bike guru Paul (2whl) pointed out the the front brake hub wasn't located properly in the front forks. Fortunately it was an easy fix so it's done now.

Man you both did a killer job. So nice... Hey think I could get a picture of the clear you use. I always hear 2k this and that but I never seen the stuff lol

Great job Al. It looks better than mine. I'm glad I don't have to compete against that in a model contest.

Really great job Al. I agree, you wouldn't want to hide all that great detail with a fairing.

Rocks and Rolls. Great job Al.

Thanks guys.
