Cool. The Rocket Bunny version has new struts? That's awesome - I was wondering if the kit would ride stock height and would need adjusting.

[Mooneyzs]

Jonathan... This is gonna be a great build and the kit looks nice.

I was going to say its a bunny with a rocket in his , well you you know , but Joe's answer is correct

[PappyD340]

NICE so far Jonathan!!

[martinfan5]

How about an update
Started with the body, doing the trimming on the fenders(this is a required step, just like on the 1:1) so the body kit fenders sit flush

and the body kit fenders are on


and the side skirts attached

and front lip spoiler

[martinfan5]

Started working in the suspension, with the rear first



Front and rear suspension attached to the chassis

[martinfan5]

And how about a mock up shot sitting on all fours

[Bennyg]

Nice. I better stop looking. I might buy one!

Buy one, or two

I love it!!!!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Cool, especially the bit about having to trim the stock fenders for the body-kit install, like in 1:1. Really cool.

Bill, the kit does include a template to use for cutting part of the fenders

You skills are getting better and better each model you do.

How did you ship it? SAL?

That's a great looking kit. But more accurately, Rocket Bunny is the name of the body kit (series of kits as it were) itself and Tra Kyoto/6666 Customs is the company that makes it. I want one of either S13 platform but the closest one to the Rocket Bunny is that Rasty S13 that Aoshima also makes.

And Kei Miura is the man behind it, and President at Tra Kyoto, so....................
