Few days ago I started this kit, it is a Moto Guzzi V7 700cc in 1/9 made by Protar. Protar made a lot of motorcycle kit in 1/9, until they closed. Italeri bought the molding and recently reissued this kit. Both Protar and Italeri make two version of this motorcycle, both about the Italian Police (polizia and carabinieri). The motorcycle is the same the only difference are decals and Protar was molding the police one in green and carabinieri in blue. Italeri mold both in blue and give both decals. when protare for have the police decals you had to buy the police bike... I wanted to do teh polizia bike so I contact Italeri and ask if they can send me the decals and price. With shipping would be 34$. The New Italeri kit ran at $65... So forget about the decals. This kit came out in the late 70's so it need some works... The engine Chassis

Thank you Gary for your support. These parts require a lot of cleaning, and it slow down everything...

I can relate to that...Cleaning up the Flash...sink marks along with the Injector Pin marks does take alot of the build time. But...as we both know...it's worth it.

Some works on the carburetors. they ave the "IN" in the wrong place, and some molding on the body that need to be removed. Modified (left) stock (right). Carburetors done.
