This 1/24 scale injection-moulded plastic kit represents a BN Sports-tuned Nissan RPS13 180SX '96 Ver.2 from Aoshima's Tuned Car range, aimed at builders who want a tuned exterior subject for display models.
The 180SX was produced as a compact rear-wheel-drive sport coupe on the S13 platform during the late 1980s and 1990s. Famous for pop-up headlights and a balanced chassis, it gained traction in tuning communities and drifting. The RPS13 designation refers to later 180SX models commonly adapted for street and club modifications in the mid-1990s.
Aoshima's Tuned Car offering favours aftermarket styling over strict factory restoration. The kit mirrors BN Sports bodywork and a lowered stance typical of custom builds. Molded components replicate modified bumpers, skirts and other visible exterior parts; painting and finishing will shape the end result. Builders should prioritise panel fit and consistent surface prep to capture the tuned appearance.
Scale accuracy here targets exterior proportions and the aftermarket body silhouette rather than engine bay detail. Wheel fitment and stance are adjustable by the modeller; dry-fitting and test-fitting wheels before final assembly is advised. This kit is best for display projects where exterior mods and paint are the main attraction.
An honest 1/24 depiction of a BN Sports-styled RPS13 180SX that appeals to modders focused on tuned exterior detail and display presentation.
