Revell Futura

No! its pretty basic but I like the tan seats.

Looking good !

Have you added any detail to the passenger compartment?

I hear ya!Nowadays its hard to see any parts due to all of the shields and covers.

Looks nice !

Reminds me of the days when car owners could actually see the engine in the engine bay.

I added the radiator,fan shroud master cylinder and battery box.next up:the front bumper/grill.    

Yes I did1The engine I used has a high rise intake and large carb so I had to cut a hole in the hood and add a hood scoop!

Holy Suspension !

Very nice chassis addition to that old kit !

Hopefully, Revell will re-issue the kit soon after the Batmobile is on the shelves so other builders can follow your lead.

From what I recall, the Futura kit engine bay is somewhat shallow.

Did you encounter any engine height  vs. engine bay height  problems ?

Cool color idea there, Philo. I just learned something!

I custom mixed the paint using Tamiya Chrome silver with a small amount of Clear Green using the box art as a guide.I still have to install the radiator bulkhead,radiator and shroud as well as the master cylinder.The original kit(mine is the '94 re-issue)is a pretty crude affair with multi-piece body and no engine or chassis detail.I had the AMT Street rod kit and the chassis fit after I narrowed  the floor pan with my Dremel and a cut-off wheel.I like the high-boy stance that harkens back to the '60s and '70s!

I'm glad you guys like this!I used a BBC and chassis from an AMT '57 Chevy!     

No teasing.We need more pics!Are ya new or something?

WOW, Philo--still turning out high quality stuff, I see? Is that like "Linwood Green"? What a cool color! Great model!

Ive been so busy that Ive only now been able to post anything here. Your work never disappoints though!

Thanks!

Nice. i like the green metal paint. hopefully now that R2(amt) have released a proper batmobile, people will start building the futura as it was meant to be.
