Re: NEW KNIGHT RIDER STUFF FOR 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Here's the Trans Am from Altaya which looks slightly different in detail when compared with the IXO. Looks to be the same mold though.

Re: Altaya 1/43 1984 GMC General Knight Rider semi-truck

Wow, long time no see Matthew. Welcome back buddy. As high caliber hardcore fans we are, it's practically our job to nitpick. Then again models like the Jada all black interior with no stickers or the later released half dash of decals sent me into a frenzy with its incredible low suspension and &q...

Re: Altaya 1/43 1984 GMC General Knight Rider semi-truck

The interesting thing regarding the lack of the Knight's head logo is that Altaya actually have the Knight Rider license, as they've got a 1/8 scale partworks KITT in production right now. Matt Yeah so weird. The logo is on the engine of their 1/8 KITT but the logo wasn't included on the truck.

Now it just needs the tiny square flap on top of the trailer that Garthe was able to squeeze out of when he was captured in Goliath.

Altaya 1/43 1984 GMC General Knight Rider semi-truck

After 39 years, the FLAG semi-truck is finally replicated beautifully as a scale model! 1/43 scale from Altaya in all its 1980s GMC General glory with its iconic black finish and gold trims. Very detailed and an impressive looking model. They missed out the gold trims on the hood but it doesn't take...

Wow, that is very cool news :) Hopefully that Knight semi truck model will become available in European modelshops too. Do you have 1/43 scale KITT model? Would be nice to see KITT and the Knight semi model together :) Yes I do. Here it is with my Aoshima 1/43 KITT.... https://live.staticflickr.com...

Re: NEW KNIGHT RIDER STUFF FOR 2020, 2021, and 2022.

This one came out of the blue... A March 2021 release. 1/43 1984 GMC General from Altaya. Minus the Knight chess piece insignia, its obvious this is based on the FLAG semi.

Re: Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment KITT Super Pursuit Mode..

And seeing as Diamond Select Toys did a 1/15 scale of the SPM KITT, I'm pretty confident that now that Hot Wheels have the mold to the SPM KITT, they will probably be doing it in 1/18 scale as well just to compliment their...

So if you love their regular KITT from before, you will love this one as well... Perfect for any Knight Rider collection! I...

Re: Does Anyone have flaws about the Elite KITT 1/18?

The only flaw I had on mine is the drivers seat. It just won't stay down like it used to anymore. So I actually unscrewed the car a few days ago and stripped it apart to take a look at the ejector seat mechanism. Its a simple fix due to a loose screw. I tightened the screw for the one on the driver ...

Re: Aoshima KITT and KARR

once the model has been assembled and glued, how would you replace the LR44 batteries for the scanner once they run out. The hood I assume would be glue on and underneath is blocked. Any suggestions? There is a screw on panel at the bottom where you can remove it and access the scanner chipboard wh...

Thats probably the Super Elite.. Maybe they increased to 2000 when they realized that 1000 pieces were just too little..hahaha.. Here's hoping the estimated price has reduced also..

Not to turn this into another HW model car thread but those knight industries stickers on the exhausts are silly because KITT is supposed to be a futuristic undercover car. They just practically advertised that it's something special by putting both the exhausts there and the stickers with the name...
