Yves If you check into it, I'm pretty sure at least some of these "Italeri" motorcycle kits were actually produced in Japan. Maybe produced there for Italeri? Anyway, I just checked yesterday on Ebay by running generic searches...found 1:9 BMW's, 1:9 Zundapps, 1:9 Trumpets, 1:9 Harley Davidsons. Many for less cost that you might think. In some cases, $50 or just a shade more. Even AMT Blueprinter boxed and sold the 1:9 kits in a generic white box with black print. No graphics. It's all the same plastic inside. I actually have examples of them in my stash, so I can say this for certain. They came boxed as Italeri, AMT, ESCI, Aurora, and more. they are all the same kits.

Tim Moore Posted May 28 Author #67 Posted May 28 Thanks to everyone for dropping in….like the sound of the Manx bike for a future project, and am totally humbled by Kim’s house motorcycle model collection. Just some more cabling to finish, decals and final detail painting etc and I’ll wrap this up. Still have to go back and reset the slightly troublesome fork/frame connection so it works correctly. For the saddlebags I glued on a bit of old thin denim on the plastic and then stained it. Probably not quite scale but hoped it would visually suggest a canvas type fabric.
