May take a bit of sawing and cutting, but I think I can make it work

Thank you both for the kind words.

Some further progress. Once the glue dries, I'll do a test fit into the engine compartment. Might be a tight fit. Still some fittings and wiring to do.

Yes and the story too ?

Some progress on the turbine. I'm a little irritated that not all the flange bolts line up.

Looks great! I did one of these kits sometime back. A pleasure to build.

Nicely done.

Really cool!

I took the parts out of the Simple Green after one day and one half. Did a good job. Just need a little scrubbing with a toothbrush, then spray some primer.

Me too. Nice work. Looks great!

For my next project, being a glutton for punishment, I am planning to add an engine to this Knight Rider kit. A few years ago, my son got this kit for me as a Father's day gift. Being the person that I am, I felt the kit was too simple, given that it had no engine and not very many parts, so I set it aside until I decided what to do with it. Recently, I ran across this old turbine engine from Revell at a local hobby shop and thought it would be fun to use in the Knight Rider. I'm going to remove the chrome from most of the pieces using Simple Green cleaner and then paint with various metallic paints for some contrast. They are in the cup to the side. Then I may a add a battery, some wiring and hoses. I'll see how it goes. I need to research some turbine engines to learn how they work. So far, I have removed (cut out) the hood from the body. A feat that I learned is harder than it looks. That's all for now.

Nice job on this one. No longer "Pretty in Pink". Much better.

Thank you.

Nice! Love the color!

Thank you sir. I learn more with each build.

Nice! I'm going to have to pick one up.

Really nice! Are the stripes on the seats decals?

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes a really nice kit. A pleasure to build.

Thank you sir. Means a lot coming from someone with your impressive skill. With each new build, I learn from my mistakes and from input from the others on this forum.

I like it here too. It is fun to show the results of ones hobby to others who appreciate them and to get positive feedback and constructive criticism from those more experienced than me, that helps improve my own ability. Than you for sharing your beautifully done models.

Thank you sir.

Thanks Mike, much appreciated.

Just finished this one. Hope you enjoy. Progress pics in WIP section.

Really nice job all around. Makes me wonder though how someone is expected to sit in the back, LOL.
