Whew! Mission completed!
As soon as Rick issued the challenge, I knew this is what I wanted to do:
The MPC Trike ProjectI've always loved the MPC trikes, loved the designs and the scale they were in. I had two sets of the originals, MIB, plus three sets of the reissues. Anyone who only knows of the trikes from the repops have seen those four, but there were actually SIX in the set, the Black Max and the Cobra Chopper didn't get reissued, I don't know why. Also, when they reissued the four, three of them were renamed; the "T" Trike became the Milk Trike, the Digger Trike became the Tiki Trike, and the Wedge Chopper became the Taco Trike. Wish they'd stuck with the original names, and reissued ALL six.
Sometime last year I built the Black Max, and figured eventually I'd get around to building them all. That time has come. My Black Max is actually only the second one I've ever seen built, and I've never seen the Cobra Chopper built, and I've never seen the whole set at one time. Good reasons to build 'em. Here are the original six, with boxes. All are built boxstock, with one exception; and without decals, unlike the repops. The exception noted is that I hated the way the headers exit out of the body on the Black Max, destroying the smooth flow of the body; I rerouted them to come out just in front of the rear tires. Also note the difference in the boxart of the Black Max as opposed to what's ACTUALLY in the kit- look at the stacks!
It was a hoot building them, and I hope you like them too. There's a lot of pics, but then, there ARE six kits- I tried to limit them to just a few each.
