samdiego Posted March 18, 2017 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.
cobraman Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 They look great ! I built the Honda and it's a pretty nice kit.
Dragline Posted March 19, 2017 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.
TooOld Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I've got a big smile on my face after seeing your builds ! Brings back memories of building these many many years ago . Thanks !
