Absolutely! Have you noticed that this bird has similarities to the 66 Batmobile?

You are right, Patrick - there are similarities!

Great work and color combination on a nicely detailed kit. 

I was fortunate to find one of these "Special Interest Series" kits a couple of years back. Had one when I was a kid but never finished it and not sure whatever happened to it. Just have to pick out the right colors and this build provides some ideas.

Nice build.  The black interior works well with the body color.  Good job making the opening doors work.  I built this kit years ago and had to glue the doors shut because I could not get them to work.

Thank you, Tom - I cought this "Special interest version" a few years before it has been reissued again.

Thanks, Hector - the doors work, but I keep them closed all the time.
