Christian, glad to hear you have (nearly) crossed the finish line. Now with the experience under your belt, what are the items that require correction. I have the flat top version reissued in 2002 and would like any relevant info you are willing to share.

I'll try my best and keep my experience as a secret *lol*
What I'd like to double check on this build are the parts for the front axle. I'd like to figure out, why I had such big issues with it. Did I messud up something? Are the instructions wrong? That are some question, I'd like to go on the ground.
I did a lot of dry fitting. The most issue was the lineup of the hood. I thinned a lot of out to get it closed and fitted to the side panels too. At least I drilled out the hinges of the hood to get it closed well.
Also dry fit the side panels to the cabin and sleeper. The distance from them to the whole cabin was different on both sides.
At least the fitting of the front bumper to the hood. My bumper stood nearly 2 milimeters behind the grille on one side. I filled the gap with plastic sheets between the bumper and frame.
For the rear axles, these "shoes" are misleadingly marked in the assembly instructions (it was not clear to me where they belong - see picture 11) and also the cross braces on the differentials. Otherwise the frame didn't cause any problems or it wasn't bad at all.
I spent a lot of time to line those parts up properly. That was the biggest challenge. In the end, I have to say that I have visually aligned all the body parts. The front axle could be installed at the end so that the axle is nicely centered in the wheel arches.
When you start your Truck, I'll watch it definitaly. The chassis / frame should be the same. Please pay attention to the partnumbers of the same looking parts. I guess, I mixed some up. I have to I think because where else can the issues come from? One for the end: you have to drill out holes in the frame for the side panels and fuel tanks. I drilled one side twice. Don't know how that happened but it happened. The fuel tanks have to be on the same spot what makes sense because of the mounting point of the side panels 😉

In your quest for tires, keep in mind that all Pontiacs of this era ran radials. Tires with old school bias ply tread were never on the cars.
18 July, 02:45
![](/profiles/img/18821-901-s.jpg)
Great hint oO The left tire comes with the kit. I think it is good enough. When I went through my grab box, I had such radial tires in mind but didn't find properly looking tires or where the rims will fit in. I'll see when I need them at the end which I'll take.

Not sure if this applies but cracks can happen if the under paint drys slower than the top coat. This can sometimes happen when you use a laquer or oil based paint and then add on top a faster drying acrylic or water based top coat that is too thick.

Thank you for your suggestions.
@Skyhiker .... I think I can skip this reason mostly because. There were 9 days between base coat and the black. Before I painted it black, I wet sanded it and let it sit 2 days for drying. I think, that was enough time.
@shadowlight .... moisture and temperature could be a reason. Because I used my rattle cans for painting, I was outside. In this case in the evening hours and not middays. The day was sunny itself but when I painted it, the sun was nearly gone. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.
Another little step done: removing the bumperetts.

I'm not sure I like the front end of that car.
Let's see what you'll make of it
3 May, 20:16
![](/profiles/img/18821-901-s.jpg)
The front end was an issue ever. Im not the biggest fan too. I was buying this because I thought it was built in 1973 too. But the 1973 GTO is a totally other car and this kit doesn't fullfill the requirements of our annual group build of our "club".
After looking through that wip, ... I think I will not go that far. But one I will do: reduce the gaps at the front. They are really present.

@Starbase101 ... I have 3 Aoshima KITT and 1 KARR. I do not have Season 1 by Aoshima.
Nearby I have the 1/25 kit of the 3rd gen Firebird by Revell too. I think, I'll do another Album of those. They will be pictured within my collection soon.

You're welcome. While I was preparing and writing down my KITT-Kit-Archeology, I forced myself to take pictures at least of all the 1982-1992 kits by MPC, Airfix and AMT/ERTL to be able to show the differneces. So I decided, to photograph all my Pontiac F-Body for a collection.
As today I have 288 built kits in my cellar. So there is a lot of work to do if I want to picture them on scalemates.

I sure appreciate the work you do
and share whed us all
Your knowledge on kits is amazing
Yes Christian I surly am a beginner
I have about 410 kits now
I started about 6-7 but haven't finished any yet
Many are push push about I should build things
In the beginning I did and made some bad mistakes
Dident have tools to build anything
My selection of paints was bad paints from the hardware
after making a mess out of a few kits I decided
To get what I need to do it right first
Getting there now 😆
