1/24 Aoshima Knight Rider Kitt


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right section (Sci Fi didnt seem quite right)

 

A nice flash back to my childhood.  Looks good on the shelf next to the Ghostbusters car and the Back to the Future Delorean

Would have loved to put the scanner lighting kit in, but I couldnt find one online anywhere.  I added a single LED to the scanner, which looks ok (please excuse the dust)

Only part that didnt go well was adding smoke to top windows.

Looks good, and I think it's fair to put KITT in cars rather than Sci-Fi:)

 

I must admit that I hadn't really registered when watching the programme (I used to love it back when I was about 8 or so) that the Targa panels were glass rather than metal so I can see what you meant about the smoke finish - it doesn't detract from the overall result though so you should be happy with it.

Very nice build. Actually watching the re-run at the moment and on the last season. This is where KITT is a convertible and the entire roof can be retracted... not sure I like the look of that... also wondering if KITT has the functionality to turn the targa panel completely transparent so your result might be accurate after all. Definitely know the windows can be totally clear or totally blacked out.

Nice one, I built the AMT (?) one of these when I was about 14, first kit I airbrushed, I wanted the A-team van too, someday perhaps. I like the details you have added like the TV screen and led, probably looks better than the real life studio models 😀
