I started this at least 15 years ago for a movie themed contest, but I decided not to go to the show and shelved it.  I came across it last week and thought I should take a shot at finishing it since it was mostly done.  It's from the movie It Started With a Kiss and this is how it looked before it became the Batmobile.  Being a 63 year old kit it has some issues.  The chrome on the bumpers wasn't the best so it didn't seem like it was worth it to BMF the side trim as I originally planned.  Plus there are other fit issues I didn't worry about fixing.  I just had fun finishing it as a sidekick for the Batmobile.

Well done!

It's also nice seeing the Futura and Batmobile side by side. It really reveals the changes made by Barris.

Agreed. 

Real nice looking builds.

Thanks guys! 

For a multi-piece body it can be assembled into a nice piece if you don't follow the instructions but figure it out logically.  The chrome has fit issues that are a problem to fix because of re-plating. 

I just used the chrome parts as they were from the kit.  It is very bright but also has sprue points in visible spots and different sized gaps.

Definitely agree with some other replies that it is very cool to see the Futura and Batmobile side by side. I knew they were related but very neat to see how closely related.
