Hi friends,
I think everybody knows that I was converting the 1/8th 82 Monogram Camaro in KR KITT.
So, here the first photos of the final result.
Soon the oficial photos.

Looking fantastic. I'm half expecting the tires to start smoking and that car to lift 45 degrees and do a standing turbo jump.

Why couldn't any of the Kitt models we bought that were officially licensed gave looked that good? I'll tell you why, no one put in the level of love and dedication as much as this guy did. Great job!!!

1/8th 'should' represent the measurements of the actual car...divided by 8. That still makes it a really sizable model.
For example, Matchbox cars are typically considered 1/64'th scale. And, those can fit in the palm of your hand.

Yes, I understand how the ratio thing works... I'm building a 1:1 replica
82 Firebird, if memory serves me correctly, 14.7 feet long...
/ 8 = 1.8375 feet...

That is phenomenal!! I really like the attention to detail. The first thing I was looking for was the quarter panel to roof transition and you addressed that perfectly! That is a work of art! Great job all around!

Thank You Guys!
For the size, It is with original Camaro kit size: 59,7cm long.
When I was building, I searched for all sites the 82 Firebird dimensions. But I`ve never found that.
So, I looked many photos and tried construct the lines of the body like the lines of the photos.
I live in Brazil. Here don`t have that car.

Beautiful Job... are you the creator of the kit, or did you buy it on ebay?
As for our estimated conversion... way off...
23.5 inches long...
Nice...

I bought the Camaro kit on Ebay.
All the Knight Rider conversion is my project.

I sold everything. Some molds were lost and I don`t have time to make it again.
Maybe in the future.
Thank You!

What about the scanner? Did you modify the one from Aoshima or have you built your own one?
