Ceaser_Salad Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hi again... I post way too much stuff, I am sorry for that. BUT I think this is a build that will actually be interesting to people, unlike my sci fi stuff which no one looks at. I had this kit, didn't like it, thought it was ugly and put it up for trade. But I was staring at the headlights and thought, "yknow that could be a cool batmobile". Soo... But then I thought... "it's missing something... oh yeah a stupidly oversized jet engine in the back". So I whipped this up. I want to paint the bat symbol on the hood in maybe a grey on the gloss black or maybe I will just leave the vinyl mask on after painting to raise the symbol off the hood a bit. Also the kit wheels and tires are so tiny... I need something more buff and off road ready. Thanks for looking, if you have any wheel/tires that would be good for this, let me know.

SuperDave Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 This is cool! I did the same thing several years ago using a Ferrari Enzo as the base car. Lotsa fun. I look forward to seeing your progress on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Sooo, judging by the direction of the headers, does the engine exhaust go forward into the cabin? Holy Carbon Monoxide, Batman!!! Edited August 21, 2021 by Oldcarfan27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Carbon Monoxide, Batman!!! Man, I have no idea I may do some routing to put the exhaust out... the bottom?? I don't know yet, have to see what has room. I had some side pipes somewhere, but cannot find them. If I find them, its out the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Carbon Monoxide, Batman!!! Since it's supposed to be a jet engine, I assumed the headers were representing fuel lines or air ducting or some other jetty mumbo-jumbo.

It's bat tech, yes. But because I couldn't stop thinking of Batman gassing himself with his own car, I turned the headers around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceaser_Salad Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Here is my paint job. Have a little bit to fix on the bat symbol, but I am really happy with the look of it so far. Again, looking at the wheels from the kit, they look too small even if it wasn't a batmobile. I like that this car could be driven to stop crime or to the annual Justice League Charity Gala.
