Thought I posted this before but couldn't find it Oh well
Thought I'd pull this one back out and get back on it again. I've always loved Knight Rider so I had to have a model of KITT. I had the AMT kit but it never did look right to me. So he got neglected
When Revell reissued the 91 Formula I knew what I was gonna do. Get em together and started switching a few key parts
in this pic ya can tell the AMT KITT is already being ravaged lol
After just a bit of work I ended up with a Revell Bird with an AMT nose only took a bit of Super Glue, bending the lower edges of the fenders in a bit and some sanding to get a nice fit.
The AMT rims fit on the Revell Axles using the BF Goodrichs from the AMT.
The project sat for a while because I wrecked the spoiler. I got a new one so he's back out
Refitted the lights to the front bumper. ( the Nose originally didn't have any so I put em in )
I've cut T tops into the Revell body. This was one thing I forgot about in the planning lol and it was about the hardest thing to do on the conversion so far.
Another shot of the tops showing the dash fitted. It still needs some details but is there. Had to mod the Revell dash to accept the KITT dash which almost appears to be what AMT did just a bit cleaner underneath than mine lol
Right now I'm working on widening the replacement spoiler I got to fit this car and I'll post up more progress soon. Plus look for the post on the 4000 soon
