I decided to build a diorama about K.I.T.T. And I'm building a trailer for it. I have a trailer parts that I think are out of the Lindberg kit the one with the truck. The kit is not the best, poor fitting, and the instructions are not clear. Any way this is what I have to work with... Here the rear axles and a part of the frame. Here the main part of the trailer assembled. The trailer is kind of a mix of real trailers, I mean is not based on a real one. So I make a new rear bumper, and added the side rails and brake lines.

Another issue are the tires, that need some heavy trimmings because if not the rims part will not fit with the center part. Here the test fitting of the tires/wheels.

Now this is going to be cool. You made the tires and wheels look good. Good work on the trailer too. Is this an AMT or is it the lindberg kit?

It is a Lindberg kit, I think is the one that came with the Dodge L-700 and the Ford on the bed of the trailer. I have only the trailer not the rest of the kit. One of the many tricks that K.I.T.T. has, is the TURBO BOOST, that make it jump over obstacles on the roads. So I think to use the trailer for this purpose. In a scene of the film it jumps a trailer full of barrel... For the diorama I'm not using all the trailer, only a piece. And I calculated that I need 96 barrels... Here the first one... Few more... Still far from the 96...

Hey Crash...I think he used that new Glue that's on the market...it's called AIR...It's practically Invisible. I heard it's pretty difficult to work with....can't see it to apply..... All kidding aside...it does look cool...EH?
