Mk1 Vintage Hornet Build

Recommended Posts

Hi guys - it's been a while since I posted a build thread, and this isn't much of one, but I added a showroom entry showing some of the little oddities about the early/Mk1 Hornet kits. As most of you know even the vintage kits were produced over a number of years, with revisions to parts and instructions along the way. One of the most famous is that of the Mk1 Hotshot with the 3-hole (weak) bumper. Well the differences with the Mk1 Hornet are subtler but they are definitely noticeable when it comes time to do the MSC bits.  Have a look!

Oh how I hated those 15/20amp fuses. Was happy to delete them eventually.
Was also happy a year or so down the track when I installed a BEC MSC.

Oh yeah forgot to add.

My OG Hornet didn't come with a metal guard over the resistor either. Just a sticker warning you not to touch it.
