What if Batman drove a Cobra ?

[cobraman]

Just another of my lame Cobra ideas .Lots still to do and coming up with ideas as I go along .Question ..... since it is supposed to be a Batcar does it have to be black ?

[Scalper]

cool.

[Dentz]

yup, gotta be black. are you leaning to the movie look or tv look? I think it could look killer with the orange  pin striping

[bobthehobbyguy]

Cool project. Definitely a different cobra.  An alternative to black would be an almost black blue.  That's how the comics did the batmobile.  Will be watching this.

[Snake45]

I don't think Batman could fit in a Cobra (especially with cape, belt, and boots). Maybe it were center-steer, and he sat right in the middle straddling the drive hump....

[cobraman]

Maybe the dark blue. Not good with black but we shall see. Batman was on a diet and his tools have been made smaller by science !

There really is no IF in your question.

You could always go pink for BatGirl, or baby bu for Robin. 

[cobraman]

Oh no Bill, can't do that !  Thanks for the pic Rex. How about that. Looks like a Factory 5 kit. ??  I thought the stupid idea was my own.

[crazyjim]

Wonderful idea, Ray.  I'll keep watching your build.

[Mark IV]

Perhaps you need to start buying better drugs! I think Batman would start with a big block, well, just because! And this from a small block owner and aficionado!

[cobraman]

Thanks Jim !  Rick, who said it was going to have a small block ?   I am actually seeking out some options for a power plant.

Yes Factory five.  That was a parade I was in about three years ago.  The next year I was Darth Vader.

Go dark metallic purple for a 60s Batgirl vibe. Batgirl could have a car as well!

Here's the color scheme: (You may want to add some dagmars to the front bumper, wink wink)

[Dann Tier]

Interesting idea, Ray, but I think it should be some sort of black/dark charcoal kolor...

[cobraman]

I agree. Looking for a power source other than a conventional engine.

ooh, how 'bout the turbine from the MPC Lotus STP indy car?....

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. I will have to see the size of that turbine. I was thinking of the turbine in the Cherry Bomb kit but I think it is too simple and without much detail.

[da_ashman]

Nice! Batman only works in black....

 

[Tommy124]

Cool idea... And I might know the sequel to that... The James Bond Cobra...

[cobraman]

Hmmmm another Cobra idea.

[Richard Bartrop]

In the comics, just about anything has been a Batmobile at some point, so why not a Cobra?

Now for decent turbines, there's the Revell Parts Pack turbine,  and the Jo-han turbine car.  Didn't some of the MPC Corvette kits have a turbine option?

[cobraman]

Thanks Richard. Most that I have found are just to large for the cobra. I may have to just go with the kit engine.

Saw this one in the Museum of American History in DC.  I am pretty sure the color is partially due to lighting around the display, but I don't believe a black car would reflect that much of a purple hue.
