Mark M Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Hey guys! It's an honor to be part of this forum. My 1/25 Polar Lights 1966 Batmobile build...Here's what I did. The kit's beacon was discarded and replaced with an aluminum accurate one, the indicator lights on the either side of the roll bar were sanded smooth and replaced with actual lenses, the canopies were dipped in future to give them a more realistic finish, Photo etched parts, Cut aluminum tubing replaced the kit's supplied rocket launchers, the car was air brushed using my IWATA system several coats of Tamiya black, wet sanded in between applications then waxed for a super high gloss shine, the pin striping was applied by hand to reflect the Glowing Cerise used on the actual car,the car's suspension was lowered to reflect the stance of the real Batmobile, the kit rims were discarded and replaced with accurate Radar rims.

HotRodaSaurus Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Really nice, as Harry says, "The best Batmobile ever"I built mine from a Futura kit and what I had at the time and now they are doing photo etch stuff. Still not quite finished after 20 years haha.
