[Kits] Snagged brand new kits: K-Break life

Today i got these brand new kits by Aoshima. They were announced this spring at Shizuoka Hobby Show.



Toyota Crown (GRS18) K-Break Hyper Zero


Kit included Hyper Zero Custom bodykit (front/sides/rear)

front grill (the same as in K-Break Platinum specs)

new LED headlights, K-Break Sniper muffler (the same as in K-Break Platinum specs)

19" Delta X rims with low-profile kiwami tires

decals for aero parts, which is simple to applying to give realistic look of HyperZero aero without painting, and of course KB HyperZero main decals (windows, sides, top, pinstripes).

By the way kit included stock headlights, stock muffler and stock grill.

Nissan Cima (Y31) Impul 731s (late type, Ohbayashi specification)


Finally Aoshima has released an aero spec Cima Y31, i've been waiting for a long time. It's Impul 731s, one of the aero that existed before the VIP style as is. It’s the very first generation of the famous Cima. Absolutely love the overall presence of this car.
Stock bumpers are molded with body and kit included aero lip, skirts, wing, fog lenses and suspension parts for Type II-S version. So we can build stock version, Type II-S and Impul 731s.

Rims are 18" K-break Fivesta with low-profile tires

but personally i would prefer Stich Mesh III, Koenig IMP, Koenig WRV or OZ Futura, so i bought the last one (look below).

Wheels for that Cima
OZ Futura 18" by Fujimi





K-Break Crown Majesta (UZS14) (kiwami ed.), was rereleased earlier in 2012



This is the first edition aero by K-Break for 14 Majesta. Wheels are fresh to death! 19 inch Koenig WRV with deep dish lips.

Factory retrofitted chassis for low stance and big wheels (only in kiwami version, this is absent in the first kit of k-break majesta). I already did the same with 2GS chassis.

Stock bumpers are molded with body, so we have both versions to build.
