Castrol Toms Toyota 86/Supra/Rocket Bunny

Hi guys,

I've decided to take on this ambitious project. Basically I had an old Denso Sard Supra kit which I had completely stuffed the body on but otherwise I hadn't touched the rest of the kit. I also had in the stash a Tamiya 86 and C-one Rocket Bunny transkit.

Now most of you the whole rocket bunny thing has been done to death in the scaled world so I thought let's do something different. After a few eyeball measurements the chassis dimensions of each kit were pretty close, apart from the fuel cell at the back which has been chopped away for now but will make a re-appearance later. I've only got these mock-up pics for now but you get the idea. There was some modification needed at the front too with the horizontal radiator removed and the chassis rails chopped back a bit which I'll put up in a later post.

I'll be using the Rocket Bunny fenders, skirts and possible rear diffuser along with the Supra kits rear wing, integrate the bonnet vents from the supra kit, fender mirrors, entire chassis and drivetrain, with all the other interior details like the cage, dash, seat etc (that fits as you can see in the photo). Last but not least it will have the full castrol livery that the Supras ran in the JGTC in the mid 90's.
