they've already got the Firebird cast, create a new dash & nose and its nearly done, perhaps they are thinking or other improvements?

Other than Ebay, anyone know of any UK sources where I can get a hold of the KARR (or even a KITT) model?

Me

lol.

Really?
You have an ertl KITT model?

Scale size? Cost? details!

What would you like? a standard one or modified one like on my recent auctions (see my post on this site)

WHERE'S KARR?!?

Anyone got any new updates?

KARR Should already be out this month if not sooner

WOO HOO!!!

My supplier from the US told me October?

dang, no wonder im so confused, i keep seeing different dates for KARR's release from different sites, i was hoping it would be this month.

Release dates for scale model cars are RARELY accurate. I don't remember the release month ever being accurate for any of my models.

yea thats true PBH, seems to be especially true for the diecast models and such.

The 1/18 ERTL KARR is now on sale at my hobby shop for US$31.00. I've seen it a while ago when I visited the mall. I won't be buying it though, I'm still saving up for the Recaro Trans Am which unfortunately is still nowhere to be found.

KARR is now on eBay.

WOO HOO - Nothing in Toronto, Canada yet, but should be a matter of time now.

Hrm, some pics I'm seeing of KARR looks like he's got a red scanning light too... is that true?

daroga

TAKE PHOTOS PLEASE! - Whoever gets this KARR first (includig myself), please take photos of the car & box for teh rest of us.

It will be much appreciated!

Here it is. No KARR plate. Is it me or the spoiler is positioned a tad too high?

And the fog lights don't match either of the 2 KITT's. *sigh*

In the picture of KARR above (Turboman's pics with no license plate), it appears that the silver paint below the tail light assembly is done rather sloppily. And the two-tone paint on the driver side door is not alligned with the body's paint job.

I think that's just the case with the particular model used in those pictures, HondaSiR. If you look above the side-view picture, the door on the opposite side seems to be aligned properly as well as the car in the box.

How Ertl could neglect to put any plate on the car at all is just inexcusable, though. One positive aspect about this version, however, is that those pesky little black dots are gone from the fog lights. Of course, it would have been even better if Ertl used the same quality lights that were used for their first version of K.I.T.T. with the amber lenses. Oh, well.

Also, interestingly enough, Ertl's version of K.A.R.R. has the same yellow paint on his voice modulator that the Aoshima version had── another inconsistency with their KITT model. And, as far as I can tell anyway, it appears as though KARR still has the amber scanner.

Lots of inconsistencies indeed for KARR...I'm glad I have KITT instead with the overall black color and rear license plate. I hope they don't mess up on the Recaro if it ever gets released that is.

I'm not thrilled with the front nose on either die cast model (KITT or KARR) and KARR's silver went a bit around the fender as well where in the pictures it's omitted.

I was going to get both die casts but I decided now not to, even though the lights work, etc. I'm currently trying to build up a KITT and black/silver KARR from AMT/ERTL reissue KITT model kits. I am an experienced enough modeler that I think I can get a (hopefully) more accurate presentation. Though even my models won't be very accurate, I plan to bring out in them the features I loved most in both cars.

Too many visible mistakes on KARR

the yellow scanner can be replaced with one from Knightlight .co.uk to leave a trail behind.[/img]
