MOTOR MAX 1/18 1932 FORD HOT ROD-AMERICAN GRAFFITI

BATWING, 1989 MOVIE VERSION

This is the first Batwing from the '89 movie. Never seen before or since (in this model; the animated series version was close) but really stood out for me. The jet itself is faithfully reproduced, touch but not brittle plastic, nice see-through canopy, very detailed. Its overall shape looks just like The Batman's stylized chest emblem. Could a plane built like this actually fly? Don't know, but again it looks very cool. The only flaw is that there's a fingerprint imbedded in the plastic on one of the wings; must be from some employee at the factory. Other than that, very good product, and reasonably priced. --The Avenger  Shop here
