How many chances does one get to assemble a Mini Bike model kit? Not many (subject matter is rare) so you'd be wise to pick this kit up if you like "anything with a motor". If I understand correctly, this kit represents a 1969 Rupp Roadster with the standard H50 Lauson/Tecumseh flathead 5 horsepower engine. Kit is molded in a red "metal flake" styrene as well as chrome plated parts, vinyl tires and seat plus a separate clear and red lens for the headlight and taillight, respectively. Real steel coil springs for the coil-over shock absorbers front and rear and a length of vinyl tubing too for the throttle and brake cables. A good kit for its day and it remains so but is open for the super-detailers to make this one really stand out. The Roadsters were available in Red, Orange, Blue, Green or Yellow...think I'm going for Blue.Read full review

Great reproduction of the MPC Rupp Roadster. Not the most detailed or a precision kit, but with some modeling skills you can really turn out a nice model. The way it was originally designed, the wheels do not turn very well and the runners on the chrome parts are on visible areas, so when you cut the parts off the tree, it will leave a red (plastic color) spots on the chrome. Again, not a precision Tamiya kit, but buildable and with a bit of filing, paint, and patience it's a real throw back to a simpler time.

I'm halfway through the build, it's bringing back old memories. A lot of rubber pieces in kit, looks very Authentic. Highly recommended.
