Knight 2000 Knight Rider

Remark:
As seen on the time line, it's based on the older Knight Rider kit. But this isn't quite right. Surely, the parts for Knight Rider buut not the body and interior.

AMT/ERTL used different bodys for the Knight Rider. I bought a lot of the Knight Rider kit, also I'm owner of the most 3rd Generation kits by AMT/ERTL & MPC. I noticed three wrong bodys.
Generally you can say, the every now and then, AMT/ERTL or MPC brought of a new Firebird, the KITT kit gots the body too.

The issues of 2002 / 2004 and 2014 using different bodys. It looks to me, AMT/ERTL took what they could get 😉 It's possible to have the body of the

1989 20th Anniv. Turbo Firebird (scalemates.com/kits/141589-a..niversary-turbo-firebird-gta) in the box. In addition to the interior of the 1988 kit mentioned above, the body has some new badges:
- "Turbo" badges on the fenders
- the symbol of Indianapolis (wheel with wings) on the fenders bottom
- another Turbo badge on the B-pillar like it was used on the front bumper (in shape like a shield)

1991 Pontiac Firebird GTA(scalemates.com/kits/141578-a..24-1991-pontiac-firebird-gta) on the market, they used the parts of this kit. You'll see the different on:
- the "GTA" badges are on the side of the fender
- the screaming chicken on the B-pillar

So if you want to built a properly KIT, you have to take the kit(t 😄) of 1984

You can see the interior of mine 1991/1992 GTA here: [img1]

I just opened my kit recently and found that the KITT hood and one piece of the engine are missing. Is there any way to get replacement for these?
