1:9 Cagiva Elephant 850 Winner 1987

The Italeri Cagiva Elephant 850 Winner 1987 model kit brings a landmark Paris-Dakar rally motorcycle into a large 1:9 scale format, with a finished length of 23.8 cm that gives the fairing, seat profile and off-road layout clear visual impact on display. Based on the 1987 race machine, the build captures the distinctive desert configuration that set the original bike apart in endurance competition. The full-size motorcycle combined a steel tube and light alloy trellis frame with an air-cooled twin-cylinder engine rated at 80 HP at 8500 rpm, and the bodywork was shaped around a large protective fairing. Italeri supports that character with a detailed plastic kit that also includes rubber parts, screws, springs and rubber tubes, adding extra texture and mechanical definition during the build. The decal sheet carries race numbers, sponsor markings, instrument details and body striping used to recreate the period rally livery with precision. With an assembly time of about 600 minutes, this kit suits builders who enjoy a longer bench session centered on painting, fitting and finishing. The completed motorcycle stands out in a display case, on a workshop shelf or as part of a motorsport collection, where the Dakar-inspired silhouette, tall front section and competition graphics remain easy to read from across the room.
