Detailed model: Italeri 1/9 Cagiva Elephant 850 Paris-Dakar 1987

This Italeri 1/9 scale model represents the Cagiva Elephant 850 that took part in the 1987 Paris-Dakar. Focused on realistic proportions and rally equipment, the kit allows builders to assemble a faithful miniaturisation of a legendary adventure motorcycle.

Rally heritage and authentic styling

The Cagiva Elephant 850 was built for tough long-distance stages in 1987, featuring robust mechanics and durable suspension. The Italeri kit recreates those visual and structural cues so modellers can appreciate the rally-spec character of the machine.

What to expect during assembly

Intended for experienced kit builders, this set contains many precision parts including rubber pieces, screws, springs and tubes. Careful fitting and glue work are needed, and the included colour instruction sheet provides step-by-step guidance to reach an accurate finish.

Presentation and hobby value

Once built, the 1/9 Cagiva Elephant 850 makes a prominent display model. The larger scale showcases frame, engine and suspension detail, making it an attractive addition to any lineup of rally or vintage motorcycle models.

This kit is best tackled by modellers with some experience. Small parts and precise glue work make it less suitable for first-time builders.
Standard hobby acrylic or enamel paints work well. Follow the colour instruction sheet for paint placement and recommended hues to match the original livery.
Keep the model out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity. A dust-free display case or shelf at room temperature preserves paint and plastic parts.
