A Scratchbuilt Gilera 500 Saturno!
The most recent news from my Italian friend Manuele Villa is here!
Enjoy them!
I send you eight pictures of the model of a gilera saturno 500 "bialbero", it is an 1/9 scale, entirely scratchbuilt, model !!, I have designed and built it, four years ago, on request of an italian collector (note his name,"sergio p.", on the sides of fairing,... he paid for this !!), it was a
six month very hard work, i have designed the model entirely with autocad, from original photos and workshop manual, all the pieces were carved or lathed in pvc, plexiglass, brass or aluminium, or plasticard vacuformed (saddle, fuel tank and fairing). I think that it is the best model i ever built.
