samdiego Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Both from MPC. Neither quite finished because I can't find the ziplock with my perfect replacements for the cabling. The tubing they supply in the kit didn't work when these kits were new and still doesn't. I did use it for the fuel line with a length of wire inside it. The Rupp's plug lead is scale heater hose, again with a wire core. Nice enough kits, typical of the vintage. The Rupp exhaust differs completely from the box photo and has to be modified to tie into the exhaust port. I really don't like the vinyl tires and seat. In this case I'd much rather have styrene versions. Fun builds. Throwback to when I was the perfect age to thrash versions of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Those look great Sam. I have the 70 almost done but as you said, I need to replace the alleged cabling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
