Third Completed of 2021 - Knight Industries Two Thousand aka K.I.T.T. (Knight Rider)

This thing gave me more fits than I expected - although I think pretty much every bit of that was my fault.   Tamiya Lacquer for the black - stripped once after over aggressive polishing.  Tamiya acrylics for the interior.  I did fabricate some floor mats, seatbelts, and seatbelt hardware from tape and fine wire.  I used embossing powder for the carpet.  Scanner effect faked with the ol' Lowes laser tape measure.

Even using the phone camera, you can really see the defects. I realized the T-Tops weren't properly seated only after looking at the pictures.

Thank you - I cheated - laser tape measure pointed at the scanner when taking the picture.

Really nice!

Thank you for the kind words.   I find painting black (and other dark colors, really) to be very challenging.

Very nice version of the futuristic self driving and talking car we know know as Tesla and Alexa. ?
