The MV Agusta 500 cc is a staple of grand prix history, famed for race success and technical evolution. Italeri captures this legacy in a 1/9 scale kit that honours the bike which dominated the 500 cc class between 1956 and 1965, winning nine world championships. Riders like John Surtees and Mike Hailwood contributed to its storied record.
The production bike moved from Cardan to chain drive and adopted a telescopic front fork during its competitive run, upgrades that improved handling and speed. This model mirrors those changes with precise moulding and chrome elements, and the pre-moulded colours help preserve a period-correct appearance.
The kit includes working suspension and rubber tyres to bring the model to life on a display stand. At 1/9 scale the parts are crafted to show mechanical detail clearly, making the build rewarding for hobbyists who like high-fidelity replicas.
