I know white tail deer forms are sometimes used over here for rusa (with a little remodeling), wondered if the jawset would be similar.

Since the Rusa is a Cervus, you will probably have to add the canine teeth to the whitetail jaw set. I am making the assumption that rusa have canines like the other Cervus, as we have very few(if any) rusa deer here in the US. I have used the whitetail jaw sets on sika and I just added the canines. The base color for the sika is much darker than the whitetail so that had to be changed too. The size should be about right, if the size of the rusa deer forms available here are any indication of the deer you have, they are whitetail size. I might be able to get you some color pictures of the inside of a sika mouth, if that would help.

Rusa Deer have no canines, use a small set of white tail jaw set use precissions manikin and it will work for you.
