1966 Batmobile By Hot Wheels Customization

In my never ending quest to make Hot Wheels better...I've also decided to tackle the Batmobile from the 1966 series. Hot Wheels has released this a few times over the years. In 2007 (on the right) they produced one with blue tinted glass. And in 2013 (left) clear glass. So I worked on both of them.

 The interior of the two cars after being pulled apart is identical. They were both grey with a fair amount of detail. With the Batmobile though, everything was black and red. So it was just a matter of hilighting what I could.

The canopies we detailed some. The chrome that should go around the glass was added. And the red light on top inside it's chrome casing was details. I'm very pleased with how these came out.

Here are the interiors being worked on, adding red hilights as I said. Sitting next to them is the interior of a Delorean.

The finished product came out REALLY well. To say I'm happy is an understatement. All the red accents that were missing from the body are now on and help the car really look more accurate.

For whatever reason there was no red on the front or back, just the fins. I fixed that. And now it looks like one mean little car ready to fight some crime.

And here are some before and after comparison shots for you. Just to give you an idea of how much better it looks.  Hopefully the pictures do it justice. I might need to take more pictures of my next "before."
