Review on πŸ¦‡ Metal Batman Batmobile - Classic Fascinations by Tom Lantz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good, assembly is a bit fiddly.

The car looks good but assembly can be difficult. I would suggest experimenting with other Metal Earth models first. I've made three of these now, and I'd like to make parts 2 and 3 after 14 and 15 just so they don't get in the way and you don't accidentally hit them after installation. Do not rush to form a canopy. The center strip of part 12 is longer than necessary, resulting in excessive overhang at the point of illumination. Bend the piece front to back as much as possible, then make windows. Be very careful with piece 28 as it has unnecessary perforations making the piece very fragile. Try not to bend it there while working on the sides or it will break in half. If so, at least they'll give you an extra one. Finally, body-to-chassis alignment can be very difficult in the front corners. To help this, make sure Part 1 has enough bend down in this area, otherwise you will have to hand machine the parts together. This is a good model but it takes some time to assemble.

Pros
  • Metal Earth - Buildable models.
Cons
  • Some imperfections
