Good Day Ducati lovers!
This is my personal interpretation of a bike that Ducati will certainly build in a not so distant future, and in Galaxy not so far way….
Ducati 996 HB - La Vincitrice dei Cieli.The Ducati 996 HB - " The Winner of the Skies" is a model of neo-classical lines based on the famous Ducati 996 of the late twentieth century , to which were added two Avogadro Tepid-Fusion micro-reactors, a Fermi anti- gravity platform, and a Mercati-Torricelli stabilization and orientation system. 100 % Italian technology obviously!
And for such a project to take due form, here is the list of donors that will be sacrificed on the altar of the Gods of Alternative and Non-Conformist Modelling:
• 1 Ducati 996/916 from Revell , 1/9 scale, courtesy of a friend of mine.
• 1 wooden base, courtesy of another friend.
• 2 engines from an ARC -170 Fighter of the Star Wars saga, also from Revell , 1/83 scale .
• One section of the fuselage of a P- 47D , from Trumpeter , 1/32 scale .
• ... and a few assorted small pieces I will get from my spare box, as construction progresses.
So, here it goes!
The origin
After some paint removing sessions (with oven cleaning fluid and a lot of scrubbing)
The base
The engines and the rest
Let us now try to fit all the parts together!
1º - The base structure
2º - The core engine
3º - Assembling both
4º - First micro-reator positioning attempt (the yellow rubber band will be removed later! :) )
5º - The second micro-reactor
6º - Adding the fuel tank and the bench structure
7º - The fairing (is this the correct name in English? It is my best bet, after googling a little bit
)
8º - And finally with (almost) all parts together”
There are many details still missing, such as windshield, additional parts in the steering and engines, some internal wiring, etc.,
but you can already get an idea of how the final product will look like.
To be continued….
Thanks for watching!
