Honda Today police type?

Fujimi made a 1/24 Police Honday Today from the You're Under Arrest series some time ago.

I stumbled upon this page and he's saying there's something incorrect about the Fujimi release.

I translated it at www.cafeglobe.com

Does anyone understand the translation? What exactly did he do to correct it?

This is what I understand:

chassis is not right so he cut off and readjust the wheel base

So does that mean he used a Tamiya chassis with a Fujimi body?

Anyway, the body and interior are from Tamiya, and the rest are from Fujimi.

I'm very interested in building this car. Does anyone know which other ktis came with a police lightbar, and where I can get the wheels shown in the photo? All I can get where I'm at is the Tamiya Honda Today, so I'd like to have a go at converting it. The decals look quite alright as they're mostly black and I can use an inkjet decal sheet.

You should still be able to get the YUA Today kit from HLJ:

for japanese Patrol Car parts, check out

The Patrol Car parts sets come with a large set of decals.
