I hate black. Haha. I love it but hate it, so easy to see scratches and marks. I used the Mr color gloss and it laid down pretty good but there are a few places that you can see it is not great and no way I was able to sand and polish like on top of the windshield, just too thin and I would sand through in seconds. After doing Dom's car and now this one, I think I will stay away from black for a little while. 😂😂😂

Thanks Bryan. The kit is pretty simple especially without the engine but it goes together so well and is dedicated, not repurposed like the MPC kit. The original lighting kit is pretty hard to find but aoshima did release the kit as a set with the lighting kit included and you can find them on ebay if you are willing to fork the coin. Evans Designs does a great and affordable lighting kit for the Knight Rider car and it can be used on either the MPC or the aoshima kit. Link to the kit is in the description. If you want to see the lighting kit installed, look up onyxfiero on KZitem. He built the MPC one with the Evans lights. I think Evans even has lights for the enterprise you are building.....

@@ScaleAutoGarage Thanks for insight. I had been wanting to score the Aoshima kit for a while, but prices had been keeping me from pulling the trigger. I had the MPC kit and sold it as soon as I took a look inside. I was hoping the Aoshima kit was better and it appears to be! I may look into the light kit for the Enterprise. This one is for my Uncle, but the next one will be for me and maybe go to a show or two. 😊

@@BGsModelWorkshop don't be fooled by prices being high. Aoshima is still releasing this kit regularly in Japan and so there is no reason for the basic kit price to be high. The kit retail is about $30 in Japan and you can get season 1 or season 4 versions which have the different dashboards. There is also an SPM version available as well. The one I did here is the season 1 with the dual video screens on the dash. www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/10077591 This is the one I bought. It will be restocked again I am sure.

Unfortunately the kit and light set are quite expensive, over $100 to get them together now. There is a cheaper light kit available but it doesn't just screw in like this one does. The kits are still easy to get including the season 3/4 dash version and then run about $50. I would say the kit completed as such is worth about $200, which would also get you one of the nice 1/18 scale versions as well.
