I don't know. You tell me!What do you thing about the Matchbox KITT from the Star Car collection ? I thing that car ist not good for his year, not detaild, what do you mean ?
Michael: Kitt what matters to me is who you are not what you look like. Sure we don't have the car so we can't turbo boost so we can't go over 200 miles an hour but it was all icing on the cake anyway

here are a few pics of my 1/64 kitt and karr.... enjoy
this kitt made by kenner features a detailed dash but the rest of the car is proportionally challenged.
here is a pic of the charawheels kitt & karr next to the ertl and kenner versions of kitt
side view
front view of the charawheels versions. kitt's scanner is a transparent red and doesn't show up in the pics very well. for some reason they painted karr's scanner on. they both have transparent red tail lights.

i plan to pry apart each of the cars to detail the interior of each. the charawheels kitt needs a black dash, the charawheels karr needs camel interior and the kenner kitt needs camel interior. after i open up the kenner version, i will post more pics so you can see it better. it isn't as detailed as it may look in the pic but it is at least an attempt.Josch Schulz wrote:Man thats great, the kenner Dash looks very good, can you make some Photos about it, whats with the ertl Trans Am, can you make some Photos about that car, looks interesting

the ertl kitt is just a plain dud. i don't know how else to word it. there is no scoop on the hood, no scanner and the car was casted with a camaro rear spoiler. this is a major oversight by ertl because they used this casting for their plain firebirds as well. the only thing that identifies it as kitt is a knight rider sticker on the rear quarter panel and it is black with black wheels.

@andy - kitt Can you show me the Kenner Car in new style?
I dont Understand the Making of that Firms like Matchbox and Ertl, wy does the make this? Ertl has another Version of a Trans Am that looks much more like KITT and has T-Tops to, wy do they use that car, matchbox too, thats not good. I dont understand the Matchbox Knight Rider, the is not make in the 80s but in the late 90s, better work is here not like in the 80s.

Yup.. The later versions of the KITT charawheels had painted scanners after KARR was released.. But if you bought it before KARR was released, it would have an unpainted scanner.. Mine is unpainted..Pierre wrote:my charawheels kitt as painted scanner
In my opinion, i prefer it to be unpainted.. Luckily I bought it earlier..
