ANOTHER BATMOBILE............

[Down Time]

Had to kill some time while the plaster dries in-between sanding on the diorama. This is a Christmas present to my daughter, of course I get the question, when are you going to build it?
This doesn't compare to Midnights though.......

I considered getting this kit. I am very interested in how this build goes. Look forward to seeing more pics and hearing about any thoughts you have.

So far it's been easy, the devil is in the paint though, will keep posting!!

Slowly coming together, the decals in this kit don't adhere as well as in prior kits.
Exterior is done with Tamiya semigloss black.

All work stop. Major component has gone missing or is not here, calling Polar Lights tomorrow, see if I can get a part.

Got a call through, I was told they are sending the sprue with the part out right away.

Where is this version of the kit?

What part was missing?

The arch that runs down the center

Part did come in a couple of weeks ago, trying to finish it as a graduation present for my daughter, college.
Stripes were to be decals but they sucked so went the hand painted stripes, still have to touch them up a bit.
So here we stand at the moment.

Great job. I love the hand painted stripping. Your daughter is going to love this.

 

[wjbrandel]

You did a great job on that. The stripping is excellent.

Well, it's not perfect, but it's done.
