as far as I know, KITT is also the only one with the "bowling ball" hubcaps...

Yes it will, as soon as all the changes are done. With any luck it will also be vector format

The bowling ball hubcaps were actually a factory option; they were just not very common from what I understand

thanks for the information ProjectKitt.

I'm currently attempting your Black-Silver TransAm, and scale it down to 1/64. The pattern fitting is great (kudos to ProjectKitt as the designer), I'm trying to change it to be the KITT. Will post photos later. :D

ok, here it is, my attempt to build KITT using black-silver TransAM pattern. I know.. its not KITT but, can't be patient any longer.

I'm using a single piece of paper to represent the running bar on the front. (yes, the KITT's front bumper is unique as stated by ProjectKitt, I didn't do anything about it)

Pair it up with my Ecto 1.

This is a scaled down model. The overall size is roughly the size of hotwheels car, I assume it's 1/64.

Zeawolves77, that is nice pair of models you have. This Firebird seems to be very well designed and your build looks very good, especially at such a small scale.

I agree, that is very nice Zeawolves! Especially in the last photo it isn't apparent how small it really is, it looks full-sized. I just finished getting mine together today and took a picture of it in my hand to help compare the scale to yours. Sorry it's a bit blurry; hard to hold a camera steady with one hand!

@Cami: thanks, Cami glad you like the pairing, though the credits goes to ProjectKITT for the great design and pattern. It's always amazing when a pattern whether being shrink or expand in their size and still fit properly. :D

@ProjectKITT: thanks, ProjectKITT, it's small but worth the sweat, your designed a great paper model (can't wait for the KITT itself :D ). Your build is looking very good and detailed,especially on the front light.

Thanks for the info, good to hear that! Will there be a paint scheme with the Firebird logo on the hood? That's my personal favourite sofar!
Thoose Firebirds look great in both scale! Nice design, nice build!

Thanks Lacc

That could be added to all of them... I was thinking of maybe including a few extra parts with each, such as license plates and wheels, so they can be customized a little bit similar to the way it's done with plastic models
