If they update the model, I'd hope they fix the scannerpause, make the tail light blackout flat, make the turnsignal covers to the frontnose and more realistic foglight opening to the frontnose.
Those updates would make me buy this model again.

The 1:18 ERTL KITT got me interested in other diecast models & toycars in general too, bought the Yatming's 1:18 Pontiac Fiero GT '85 and some other cars in smaller scale. Here's few pics: ERTL 1:18 scale diecast KITT: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/dcast/KR/kittonroad5.jpg Pontiac Fiero G...

Everything you need to know about the different kinds of MPC KITT model kits from 1983 to the present is found in this link (scroll down towards the bottom of the page). There are two kinds of MPC molds and one from the later AMT/ERTL company. Link: http://www.smallartworks.ca/Gallery/Kitt/Kitt.htm...

What are the differences between original 80's KITT model and the re-release version?

-KITTfan-

I never knew in the 80's who did KITT's voice but years after KR I saw an episode of Boy Meets World and thought "Wow, Mr. Feeny's voice sounds very familiar!". Then I kept my tv on when Boy Meets World was airing and imagined KITT's voicebox moving when Mr. Feeny was talking :D Now I just...

Wow, awesome graphics! It really remindes the FLAG semi with gold stripes now. Great work of art!

Unfortunately I don't remember if that jumper had a launcher, I just remember the toy from the button on it's roof. I had some red Trans-Am looking little toy that had a launcher but don't remember if it jumped or did anything special. It got lost during the years so I can't verify. The toy with a k...

Ooh, that picture brings some memories to my mind, those were fun toys

-KITTfan-

Do you mean the 1989-1994 Mazda 323F (BG chassis), the 5door hatchback with popup headlights? I think it's called Mazda Astina in some countries. I too think that a black 323F looks little bit like 3rd gen Trans-Am, I even made KITT modifications to one 323F picture :D I don't have the pic anymore i...

KITT also used the casetteplayer to record sounds, speech etc. and I'm not sure if cd burners and cd-r/rw discs were even invented yet in the mid 80's

-KITTfan-

I've been looking that too, there's some other manufacturers version available but they are european version of the Mercedes. Haven't seen anywhere the American version with larger bumpers & round headlights. Seems that there's very few 1980's cars in diecast 1:18 scale, it would fun to create a...

I keep my KR stuff in a closet too and the ERTL 1:18 KITT model in it's box to protect it. Here's my small KR collection with pics:

ERTL forgot to tell us about KITT's skimode feature LOL

It's great fun to put the volume loud in the livingroom hifi-system and listen it just the way Michael Knight heard it

-KITTfan-

Here's few funny phrases (IMO): "I suggest you'd use extreme caution!" (Knightmares) "Is it all right to respond?" (Pilot) "With all due respect, you aren't possibly considering... oh my word, you are!" (Pilot) "Activate the turboboost!" (Pilot) "Don't to...

I wonder if the music licenses gotten for dvd:s now will include permissions for future formats, such as Blu Ray and/or HD-DVD or do they have to get them all over again if they want to release them in future formats? It's great that 2nd season and 3rd season are coming so quick but I hope the music...

What was the name of the episode where Michael and K.I.T.T. bust a bunch of drug dealers? He uses a gun there briefly. I think Devon berates him for using one afterward though. A Good Day at White Rock? Michael fired a machinegun in the end of Inside Out. He also had a handgun in Hearts of Stone. H...

How about Custom KITT 1:18 model I'd like to see 1:18 scale FLAG semitruck that would carry this 1:18 KITT model in it's trailer

-KITTfan-

I think at least Rebecca Holden's interview and "Knight Sounds", this time by Don Peake, would be great extras to the 2nd season DVD set. For 3rd season extras, interview about Patricia McPherson, behind the scenes footage and maybe interview about the persons who did the modelwork on the ...

KITTfan wasn't my first choice for a nickname, the ones I thought first were already in use. Since I like KITT the most in the show, this is what I came up with.

KITTfan- Does the red lens make any difference appearance-wise with the scanner's pausing effect and/or the trail effect? Unfortunately not, it's so thin material it just gives the red colour to the scanneropening when the scanner isn't operating. It may also make the scannerlight appear a little m...

Nice work with the 3d model! I don't know if this is any help for 3d modelling but here's anyway few measurements (in centimeters) from finnish car magazine that test drove Pontiac Firebird/Trans-Am in 1982: wheelbase: 256,5cm length: 482,0cm width: 182,9cm height: 126,6cm I don't know how many cm:s...

Thanks guys for the nice words :) The red scannerlens came from old cardboard 3D glasses which had a red lens for one eye and blue lens for another eye. It's very thin material and I don't know where else to find it. To Tetsu: The turnsignal covers are just clear transparent plastic film and it's al...

Here's 2 pics of my KITT model after I've added the "turnsignal covers", a red lens to the scanner and covered the amber forglights with black elecric tape: http://www.geocities.com/kittfani/docs/images/118kittmods1.JPG http://www.geocities.com/kittfani/docs/images/118kittmods2.JPG -KITTf...
