knight rider online

Howdy all!!

Its been talked about on the KR-UK, but pictures have only just surfaced. Aoshima, the company that made the expensive mini-z cars and the model truck are making KITT and KARR 1/43 scale model cars. See link for pics of KARR:

Its looking good with rubber tyres, proper paint-job (unlike the blue of the mini-z) and it looks great. hlj also show that there making something called the Knight Rider Knight2000 KITT in addition to the KITT and KARR, but I don't have any idea what that might be.

if anyone actually buys something from that website let me know (pm or just a reply here). i'd like to know if easy enough to do. and how long it takes for the product to get to you.

Are there any pics of the dashboard in that model? And what will they do for KITT? He has 2 different dashboards. Will both dashboards be included in the kit or will one dashboard be picked and stuck too?

Hobby Link Japan is probably the easiest company to go through. Their ordering system offers different forms of payment, and it's quick. They also let you track your order and let you know the status of your order.
I bought the Bandai Enterprise from them several months ago, and I had no problems (Other than the anticipation of waiting for my package to get here).

just placed an order for the CW Knight 2000 K.I.T.T.
guess we'll see what happens...

BTW...
what address do i use to send a Money Order?

very cool sarfraz, thanks so much for the info!! look forward to seeing more.

(nice avatar btw!)

I also checked out Aoshima's (http://www.aoshima-bk.co.jp/) website and found out a tinsy bit more. The cars are supposed to be available in December, and they list the two cars on this page: http://www.aoshima-bk.co.jp/scripts/sho ... 3&month=12

Thanks Neil

hmm, blinking type LED use? wonder if that means the models will come with a working LED scanner? I suspect it does. Makes the model value for money.

Looking at the hlj site, they say that 3 (yes three) KR cars are being released in October 2003. They are usually very accurate, to the point of being psychic with knowing release dates. The link below shows their current list of KR products.

Note the mysterious "Knight Rider Knight2000 KITT" at a slightly cheaper price and with no scale. I have heard nothing of it and I know hlj don't just input data without knowing something. What could it be?.....apart from the obvious, its a model KITT.

How do you make payments to them?

How much did the kit cost in US dollars?

I must admit, KARR looks really good on that picture they have.
