Drake69 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just found mine at Hobbytown. Includes a backdrop of the Batcave. I bought mine but haven't gotten around to opening it yet. Hopefully after work today I'll crack it open and take a few pics of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I bought one on Saturday, just haven't taken it out of my trunk, let alone opened it yet. Can't wait to see your pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I bought one on Saturday, just haven't taken it out of my trunk, let alone opened it yet. Can't wait to see your pics!Waiting for the wife to get in a good mood, or go to sleep before you so you can sneak it in? lol I've switched to having her stop by the hobby shop and pick up my kits, I just tell her it was a model we talked about me getting it when it was released so I ordered it and it came in. She doesn't remember half of what we talked about when I say model car, so I can get away with it.

Joe Handley Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Nah, I'm single, just have a bunch of other stuff going on and I just haven't drug it in yet. I still have to paint the body for the last R/C truck I built, just been too busy on my days off with decent weather to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm wondering, does it come with the shield? I've got one of the early ones I built back in the day. I also have the Ertl Blueprinter vacuum form shield that they once made available for the kit. The shield was not very accurate. But, it was still cool.

Drake69 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 No shield, unfortunately, but a cool backdrop of the Batcave though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It would be cool if they re-issue the armored cocoon for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hmmmm-narrow up the front track and it passes for a comic version of a Delta Wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Do it right, it could make a pretty close representation of the Deltawing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cole Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Do it right, it could make a pretty close representation of the Deltawing! Batmobile can be a base for other creations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Nice build, I seem to remember when that other magazine had a build contest and Marvel threatened to sue them for unapproved use of the car's name, so they changed the contest to use the kit's stock number in the name of the contest to get around it.

Zarana-X Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I rebuilt my original one a few years ago. I had the early one with no removable engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathgoblin Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I wouldn't mind getting the armored cocoon. It looks like it'd be easy to mod into the animated version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Tell me about it, makes me feel like an old man.Never got the kit, but I remember being in college and going to see the movie w/ friends...I was 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Lectro Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I built an original release of the kit way back when, I was never really satisfied with my work on it. I'd love to try again, and apply techniques I've learned since then. First thing, that chrome needs to come off, it's not at all accurate to the filming vehicle. Shades of dark metals would work much better, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Back in the early 90's. I threw myself a birthday party. Now I'm not a big fan of cake, so I didn't plan on having one. Well, a friend who is not a good cook at all, knew this and brought a cake to the party. Great. A cake. And made by somebody who can't cook very well. Well I was a gracious host and decided enjoy the cake the best I could.Time comes sing happy birthday and blow out the candles. Then I go to cut the cake. It will not cut! No matter how hard I try. Finally I stabbed the cake. Right away I could tell something was not quite right, and my buddy was concerned that I may have damaged what it really was. It turns out he taken an '89 Batmobile model kit, wrapped in an extra layer of plastic. Then put frosting over that.Well I was lucky. The knife penetrated the box, but did no damage to the kit itself. Sad to say, but somewhere along the line I've lost the box. But I still have the Batmobile sitting on a shelf in my living room today. Needless to say, it was the best birthday cake anybody has ever given me!
