Just FINALLY able to subscribe from here in the USA. Waiting for Pack 1. Whilst I am not a "fan" of the original TV show, my mother's 2nd husband worked on it during production. Here in LA they employ retired motorcycle cops when shooting on location. My stepfather did that, and was paid handsomely I might add.
13:50. I think I told you, I have those magnifiers (brilliant BTW! Those watching this, I recommend you buy them). I managed to BREAK one side by using them as "eyeglasses"...fat head I have. Fixed with epoxy, and NOW use the elastic headband option, highly recommended.
Hi Wayne, when securing the lower suspension arms the first one (stage 8) you said use JM screws the second one you said use IM screws, it's actually use one of each, might be worth you double checking they are secured correctly, I almost fell in to the same problem, I also noticed the brake lines you need to check the orientation, also one line should attach to the rear of the caliper at this stage, I also made the same mistake with that steering mount on the wrong side, glad it's not just me 🤣
Interesting suspension set up, it is different than the real car, the third gen trans am have one lower control arm, the spring goes between the arm and the cross member the spindle attaches to the control arm outer section and the McPherson strut attaches to the upper spindle and the inner fender. I own a 1983 trans am knight rider replica. Great video.
I got my notification on 11-14 today. Those 'crossmembers' are so much easier to install if you do them BEFORE you build the suspension as you can see where those two screws that go up the spring need to go so much easier. The brake distributor, according to the instructions, should have the long pipe on one side and the two equal lengths go on the middle and other side. I'm going to move mine around so the longer pipe is in the middle and the others go off the sides to the brakes - which you missed the instruction for. They tell you to set the brake line in-between the suspension arms and connect it to the nipple on the black brake component. Also, if the square pin in the steering gearbox isn't square to the frame you'll need to take the steering gearbox apart again to square the steering wheel with the front wheels. I've still got to check mine to the steering wheel as I may have it 90° out.
That assembly is called a "sub-frame". Those GM cars were a semi-unibody. So the entire front section was removable. Fun Fact: KITT was originally going to be a Datsun 280ZX, but GM stepped in.
The 83 trans am only has the cross member without the rest of the subframe, I know I replaced mine with a tubular cross member on my 83 trans am. It is a lot different than the suspension on the kit that he is building.
@@Zelaznogsiul-63 Guess they didn't get the memo about the update. Lol. I've only worked on 1st and some early 2nd gen F-bodies so I wasn't sure of when they updated. GM likes to keep things the same for as long as possible. Lol.
So cool to see this coming along. I really want to build it but just don't have the time for another build at the moment. When you said you threw the Victory in the trash today on the Livestream my heart sank a bit. I had been wondering what the status of it was, and I fully understand your reasoning. At some point I'd like to build the Victory, but maybe after I retire.
That square bit on the steering has sheared completely off on mine and I think it's a fault in the material. Told fanhome about it and silence when I said I'm not paying for a replacement due to me feeling its faulty
Hi great tutorials I like watching ur vids , however my friend is building the car and ordered the front grill and unfortunately after months of waiting it didnt turn up and the seller isnt replying from mike lane mods and I wondered if u know anyone else selling these custom parts thanku
Well i had problems with DPD on my1:8 Peugeot205 GTi build/after speaking to Eric Le Dunois/IXO Collections changed the parcel couriers from DPD to Parcel Force. As DPD are afucking nightmare to deal with. So it should now be Parcel Force from now on as the main parcel couriers for any future IXO Collections build
@@bedfordshiremodeller4491 Ive had problems with parcelforce in the past they dont ring doorbell then dont leave a card just get a message saying missed parcel and no idea were it is or they leave with a neighbour and its up to you to find out what one lol
Can someone tell me how effective the steering should be. I'm at stage 18 and the steering rod does not turn the wheels effectively at all. Have I made a mistake?
Wayne I am on step 10 of Kitt my question is that I always have trouble hooking up the brake lines and was wondering if it would hurt to add alittle glue to the front brake distributor?
I always wonder: are these screws the same across multiple models? Like, are Fanhome's DM screws the same as Eaglemoss's DM screws? If so, then that's all the more reason to save screws between builds: because you might be able to use them in another build somewhere.
It looks like they realized the suspension was easier to work on without the wheel attached. I'm surprised they didn't ask you to take the first one back off first.
Hi Wayne great video and build so far if this was available to the USA I would so order this but unfortunately it isn't yet. Do you have any clue if/when it will be available to the USA?
Wayne I've noticed watching a few of your videos that the inclusion of tweezers appears to be the publisher's way of saying 'This bit is chuffing fiddly so you'll need these!' :)
IXO Collections hav been waiting afair while now for Box 7. Somthing to do with delays in the shipping containers themselves but this sadly can/does happen even though it technically shouldn,t
My first R2? The lightsaber won't deploy, and the "long" LED won't light. Otherwise it works normally, and the App downloaded to my Android phone. That is wonky, but I can work around.
Interesting how they chose to do the front suspension; 82 to 92 F body was McPherson strut and had no upper control arm as I remember. Now I have to go drag the GTA out of the shop and look...
Succumbed to subscribing to this last week, so hopefully the first bits should be arriving next week. Also ordered the mods from Mike Lane except for the brake discs. After watching your Titanic vid had a look at the website and saw they are releasing the 66 Batmobile, are you going to get it? I'm so tempted.
So....FanHome as I understand is basically DeAgostini? I just changed my subscription card number, and that was said in their E-mail. OK...I have already built a full R2-D2 from DeAgostini, plus the X-Wing (no longer available). I ALSO subscribed via 'FanHome' for another R2...guess I'm glutton for punishment.
@@WorldofWayneUK I only wrote that because at one part you had said that you didn't know what it is called so you were going to call it a cross member. :)
My theory? I am now parts works heavy, Agora/Hachette Titanic, plus the Jaguar, plus I am about to buy the Agora Lambo....I already finished the Agora Zero. Now I have FanHome/DeAgostini as well. I just don't film it, the difference. But, Wayne? We like to watch YOU. Meanwhile I build plastic models, real and Sci-Fi AND RC airplanes...a few helicopters too. Oh, did I mention model railroading?

When will you be able to continue the build on the ECTO-1?
@@andrewbraverman4511 yep
The KITT car is my first part works car and I’m enjoying the build tbh

Hi Wayne. That mini cross shape is called a u-joint. No blood was shed making this video.
Getting there Wayne!
A very intricate pack indeed.
Loving the build as all ways.
Stay safe all.
Hi Wayne. 2 GMs through the right spring ...
I was looking to see if anyone had already said it, because I was
Thanks again Wayne! I was building 4 stages including stage 10. Your video helped me out greatly. Thanks again!
I just trying to catch up here. I start watching this video and never finished. Love the model can't wait till it begins to look more like K I.T.
13:50. I think I told you, I have those magnifiers (brilliant BTW! Those watching this, I recommend you buy them). I managed to BREAK one side by using them as "eyeglasses"...fat head I have. Fixed with epoxy, and NOW use the elastic headband option, highly recommended.
Wayne the 2 long sections are chassis rails and the part you attached is the cross member...
I love this model hope we can see more of the enterprise soon
I’ve just done these stages, I recommend adding a little grease to the steering gears before assembly for a smoother mechanism
Yer I figured I should do that so did it in post
You mean grease in the enfless thread of the steering column? Because in the model I’m building now the steering is really rough…
Hi Wayne, when securing the lower suspension arms the first one (stage 8) you said use JM screws the second one you said use IM screws, it's actually use one of each, might be worth you double checking they are secured correctly, I almost fell in to the same problem, I also noticed the brake lines you need to check the orientation, also one line should attach to the rear of the caliper at this stage, I also made the same mistake with that steering mount on the wrong side, glad it's not just me 🤣
No grease in the steering box Wayne ?
Can't beat your metal screws in to oil matey, makes it so much easier thank you 👍👍

Thanks Luis. I bet that car look awesome
@@WorldofWayneUK still working on it, I bought it over 15 years ago.
Now I have not watched this yet, so wondering if the number of days since last accident will be re-set!
I’m good so far

Nice vid Wayne - you can't avoid the Bismarck rigging for ever you know

my next ecto-1 shipment contains stages 31-39 so im glad.

Fun Fact: KITT was originally going to be a Datsun 280ZX, but GM stepped in.
It was also due to be a corvette but due to a production delay they used the TransAm

I had been wondering what the status of it was, and I fully understand your reasoning.
At some point I'd like to build the Victory, but maybe after I retire.
Speaking of lubrication, when there are plastic gears you can look at model railroading lubricants. Specifically for plastic.
At least no blood was shed this time !
Hey Wayne I enjoyed it but it looks like you messed up on the right side the shock is supposed to go through like on the other side
That square bit on the steering has sheared completely off on mine and I think it's a fault in the material. Told fanhome about it and silence when I said I'm not paying for a replacement due to me feeling its faulty
Still hoping that they will bring this model to the Belgian market someday.

Finally waiting for DPD to deliver the next part of the porsche today.. Wow they really did mess your sub up I got issues 11-14 last week.
Just got 11-14 today

have you had any issues of the spitfire 95 onwards
Lots of monthly subscribers hav had that due to the change of the instructions in issue93
Can someone tell me how effective the steering should be. I'm at stage 18 and the steering rod does not turn the wheels effectively at all. Have I made a mistake?
I dont have my wheels on yet! I'll wait till all suspensions done.
I think one of the brackets (holding the sway bar) isn't orientated correctly - 23:59
Looks okay to me
Wayne I am on step 10 of Kitt my question is that I always have trouble hooking up the brake lines and was wondering if it would hurt to add alittle glue to the front brake distributor?
Nope. I did that in the end
I always wonder: are these screws the same across multiple models? Like, are Fanhome's DM screws the same as Eaglemoss's DM screws? If so, then that's all the more reason to save screws between builds: because you might be able to use them in another build somewhere.
No they are all different
In pack 8 step 7 my pins don't seem to fit like the holes to far apart any advice
I can't remember having problems with the pins. Had the metal bent?
@@WorldofWayneUK it's ok I just needed to put a bit of pressure on it
lovely kit eh? its my favorite movie car also when u gonna have an ecto-1 video again?
Soon hopefully
It looks like they realized the suspension was easier to work on without the wheel attached. I'm surprised they didn't ask you to take the first one back off first.
Some of these instructions are definitely backwards
Can you only get this in the UK?
Yep. Follow the link
Oh man! I'm in the US. 😶
De Agostini released a 1:8 partworks model here in Italy a while ago but it completed its run and has not been reproposed yet.
And in France/Germany also
Hi mate .
I find when I turn it using the steering arm , it's really still and reluctant to turn , can you give me any tips please
Lift the car up and see if it moves freely , if not, you will need to reseat the rack and pinion gears
Did you finish the ecto-1?
Nope. Still waiting for issues
Hi Wayne great video and build so far if this was available to the USA I would so order this but unfortunately it isn't yet. Do you have any clue if/when it will be available to the USA?
I’ve heard nothing yet
I think the mike lane mods parts are great but for some reason I cant get no reply does anyone know any other custom part builders, thAnkyou,
Wayne I've noticed watching a few of your videos that the inclusion of tweezers appears to be the publisher's way of saying 'This bit is chuffing fiddly so you'll need these!' :)
Lol yes. It’s the first sign that disaster is imminent
@@WorldofWayneUK I can hear the sirens now and the gurney being wheeled out :)
Hello Wayne how many boxes total in the knight rider build
I think 30
What's happened to the 917 Porsche. Not had a build for awhile?
Still waiting for delivery
IXO Collections hav been waiting afair while now for Box 7. Somthing to do with delays in the shipping containers themselves but this sadly can/does happen even though it technically shouldn,t
Wher you got that gray comfort grip havy duty screwdriver at
That was a freebie from the DB5 build
What size screwdriver i need fir this kitt model
PH0
My first R2? The lightsaber won't deploy, and the "long" LED won't light. Otherwise it works normally, and the App downloaded to my Android phone. That is wonky, but I can work around.
Have you got the next issue of the knight rider Wayne
Yep. Video will be out tomorrow.
When does the next NYFD fire truck come out ???
May be next week
Interesting how they chose to do the front suspension; 82 to 92 F body was McPherson strut and had no upper control arm as I remember. Now I have to go drag the GTA out of the shop and look...
You’re correct, struts. In some of the scenes you can see the strut tube in the wheel well above the tyre.
Succumbed to subscribing to this last week, so hopefully the first bits should be arriving next week. Also ordered the mods from Mike Lane except for the brake discs.

Hi wayne when u doing the next issues of 27 28 29 30 for kitt
Haven’t received them yet
K m8 no probs I'm still on issue 10 the now but haven't caught up with the rest of the issues k wayne
The right side shock absorber was put in wrong Wayne. You didn't put it through the upper suspension arm like you did on the left side
I fixed it now. The thumbnail for the vid should show it correct
@@WorldofWayneUK Perfect, I wasn't sure if you had noticed at first so I thought I would let you know. Keep up the amazing videos
For Stage 7, I received Part 6G instead of Part 7H. Hopefully Customer Support can help me.
Is there more coming for the fast and furious Dodge charger?
Yep. Later today.
@@WorldofWayneUK cool because I would love to see it complete but I want to build it but It can't be sent here

Did you say "Wobbly gods"? Laugh, I think I resemble that remark, or? Heard it in "Harry Potter". Either way, funny.
It is the sub frame that you keep calling a cross member.
Who knows. In this video I think I called everything a cross member 😂😂😂
@@WorldofWayneUK I only wrote that because at one part you had said that you didn't know what it is called so you were going to call it a cross member. :)
