Wild looking!  The white lettered tires are a neat addition!

Thanks TD4438, yes it was hit and miss getting the parts in the right place, although the instruction booklet had photo's of the completed vehicle, being all in black just didn't help at all.

And a few more, wait for it........................

There's seven peices on each side, test fit first as some overlap others so the instructions are out of sinc.

Before the roof and windscreens.

This shows the air-brake supports these should be canted inwards as far as possible as the air-brake 'wings' aren't that long!

After the air-brakes are fitted but before the last two tyre decals.

Hey presto all done!! Not a bad kit as long as you check everything first. The worst things were trying to fit the air-brake supports after the large square boxes were fitted the the rear roof. The holes for the central supports are under the sides of the boxes, so I had to take them off, open out the holes for the supports, file a groove in the side of the boxes and try and get them (supports and boxes) back on at the same time. The instructions are quite vague with their dotted lines disappearing around the back of the drawings!

The white lettering is a nice touch as well.I'm curious to see if you stumbled into the same problems with the instructions that myself and another builder experienced.BTW,we need more pics.

Thanks Fly n High! Others have asked why not in camo, carbon fibre or just plain white!

In fact as it comes all in black plastic there's no need to paint it at all.

I would build another but I had to iimport this from the states to the UK 'cause I couldn't find one here.

Someone sent me this too as well....www.youtube.com/watch

Trust Jay Leno to get a ride!

Listening to the chat on the Youtube peice I'd like to know where the others are in the UK!

Nothing wrong with a red batmobile:

I've just finished this in metalic red rather than in dark black!
