I remember many years ago when I saw the batmobile out the window of the bus I was on in Hamilton, Ontario and due to rush hour traffic, I was able to watch it for quite a few minutes...made my day!
i bought this kit months ago and it is on my bucket list. And now I get to see a professional build one! That's a cool build. My favorite scenes are the POW, ZAP, WAM BAM and when they drove the b-mobile out of the b-cave!
Always my fave Batmobile. Since I'm an oldtimer, I had built the 1956 Revell Lincoln Futura concept car which was much later modified into the TV show Batmobile by Barris Kustom Industries. The first time I saw it on the TV series I recognized it as the Lincoln Futura. Nice job as always Chris adding your magical touches to this beauty.
awesome looking kit. would look good on any body's shelf.nicely done. I was 7, back in 1966. loved to watch that show ever time it came on. thanks for sharing it. got to go. the commissioner is calling.
"Atomic batteries to power! Turbines to speed!!!" (Just don't forget to buckle up, first . . . .) One thing I like about this kit is that it's available in many different versions, depending on desired skill level and cost, making a 1966 Batmobile accessible to any modeler. Thanks for posting this!
You are more than welcome! I also have the re-issue of the old 1/32 scale Aurora kit. (I wanted one when I was seven, but it cost a whole $1.30 at the time!) I hope to build that one to display with a 1/35 scale model M5A1 light tank painted to look like Penguin's solid gold tank . . . .)
This was really nice-the antenna thingy is either the bat beam-a laser shoots out of it or the switch to operate the chain cutter on the corgi toy version-there is only one Batmobile and this is it.
You know man, you make even the "snap-tights" interesting to watch you build! No kidding, all of your videos are so cool because you just have so much fun building. THIS makes me want to build even more! So thanks again for these awesome videos you put out every-single week, sometimes more than once a week. Whatever you put up, is always cool. Thanks a lot man, see you in the next video!
My buddy, J.J. Jones, spent the summer of 66 or 67 (I can't remember and J.J. is "gone" sadly). Anyway he towed one of the show cars to car shows (novel). They had him drive an old '49 Chev fastback as the tow car. PLUS, the Batmobile had NO engine so it was push, push, push. Then put up with Chevy issues then push some more. Not J.J.'s best summer. Anyway, this has inspired me to diorama that whole mess - Batmobile, Chev fastback and trailer have been ordered. Thanks soooo much for sharing...
loved watching the series as a kid, this was my favorite bat mobile by far. They did a great job on this for a snap kit with some fantastic detail. I will have to purchase this kit and follow your tips. As always, highly enjoy your build up and straight forward style
Nice work as always. Thumbs up. Got a question, in the TV series of Batman, they always show when the Batmobile takes off, it leaves burnout marks from the rear tires. Now if this car is a Thrust Drive, like a rocket, why does it spin the rear tires at take off?
You are always such a joy to watch. I love seeing people as enthusiastic about this hobby as I am. Keep up the good work. --Cindi (aka Granny Glue Sniffer).
Beautiful kit. thanks for the build and the share. I built the version with the resin Batman and Robin figures. The glue kit. The orangish red decals for the striping were fiddyl and a pain..lots of setting solution to be used. the paint job on the supplied version of that kit were awesome.
Beautiful job. I have several kits, including this one, a 1/64 resin kit and a 1/25 scale Italian resin kit. I haven't had the nerve to complete a single one. Favorite scene? Always the Batmobile speeding out of the Batcave.
Radar Antenna in front of wind screen was connected to the Bat computer also functioned as a kind of GPS for Robin and remote ant. for car return acquisition. That was a nice surprise for a snap kit. Cool video!
The 1966 version of the Batmobile is my favorite version of all. Alot of people don't know this, but the 1966 Batmobile was built and customized by famous hot rod customizer "George Barris" using a 1955 Lincoln Futura. Another thing alot of people don't know is that George Barris also custom built a bicycle for Eddie Munster of the TV series "The Munsters" but it NEVER appeared in any episode of the show. But I actually read online that in between filming for The Munsters tv series, Butch Patrick ( the child actor who played as Eddie Munster ) would sometimes be seen cruising around Universal Studios in Hollywood in his full Wearwolf make-up and costume on the bicycle and that one day he hit a patch of oil and Eddie Munster skidded the bike and wreaked it. But fortunately the bicycle wasn't damaged and Eddie Munster wasn't hurt, just shaken up a little. But if you want to see pictures of the bicycle, be sure to check them out online. Just punch in the words "Eddie Munster bicycle photos and it should pull up several photos of it. There's even a really good black and white photo of Eddie Munster posing with the bicycle. Awesome build Chris ! As always !
Great review and super job on this one. I did the last release of this kit. Didn't detail it and it still came out snazzy. Great kit for beginners to master modelers as yourself.
At the local hot rod Auto show there was Robin and Wolfman Jack at a table signing a photo of them . The Batmobile was on display next to them but it was an odd version done with a felt fiber spray onto the paint to look like Bat skin . The infomation Plaque said that the non reflective surface was for night driving to sneak up on villians while void of Street Light and Moonlight shine from a normal gloss paint . Never saw that version since the 1967 Auto Show , Barris had said that he made 5 cars for different functions but this one might have been a Static version to tour N.America at the auto shows.
Great videos that you do! Model building is a rare art these days. Happy to see guys like you keeping it alive. I still build them too. Just not as good as you do.
My favorite scene , also from the movie , was when Batman was running with the giant bomb and says , some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb , classic and hilarious.
About a decade ago, I attended a Fathers Day Roadster Show in Pomona, CA. George Barris was there in a covered booth signing autographs and talking to his fans (I said hi) and he had a Batmobile there next to the booth. It was one of the cars used in the series, and the reverse opening hood was open about a foot. I took a peak inside and saw that rather than a Bat Turbine, the car was powered by a Bat 390, (big block Ford) which would be a good way to go when adding an engine to this kit for total accuracy.
The real batmobile ended up in the UK and not far from where i lived for a while, yet i only ever went to see it once or twice, i will have to check to se if its still there?
Great detail as always they jus seem so life like that lil thing on the hood i remember that actually rotating on a episode might be for weather or sum type of radar
My favorite scene was when Batman & Robin were in Mr. Freeze's clutches. Batman turned to Robin and said, "Good thing we have our Bat thermal underwear on, right Robin?" Ha ha! They had a gadget for EVERYTHING!
I believe that gold cross piece in front of the windshield was a type of radar antenna. I remember seeing it in a TV scene where it was rotating slowly as Batman was driving.
Holy wrong answers hpiguys fans, according to the cool poster that comes in the polar lights collectors addition embossed tin which is a super secret wayne enterprises blueprint of the 1966 batmobile the mystery item on the hood is the dreaded batbeam.or if you prefer on the deluxe edition it’s called the batlaser .either way you can be sure it will aid the dynamic duo in foiling many afoul deed and help capture those dastardly villains. Keep it a secret though,don’t want to let the penguin know. But ya cool model and great job love your stuff,keep it up and thanks for it.i look forward to more
I have the Revell reissue Lincoln Futura concept car model (on which this was based) to make - I'll get round to making it one day (yeah, sure you will, Simon...)...
Pretty nice. Did those front lights and rear lights ended up going on the car? I haven't seen them on the kit, but I don't remember that car having round taillights nor headlights anyway.
Hey! I love your videos and I painted my model with acrylic, but it just doesn't stick to the plastic, it leaks out. Do you have any recommendations on how to make the plastic porous so acrylic can adhere well.( primer or anything ) thx.
Wow....this is NOT a simple repro of the old Aurora kit at all! This is really nice, despite being a snap-tite. I'm not sure if you remember the old Aurora kit but all the kids who liked models back then (60's) eventually got one. Some of us were even lucky enough to get Green Hornet's 'Black Beauty'. Btw, that silver and gold assembly in front of the windshield has 2 purposes. It was the antenna for the Detect-a-scope and it was also the projector for the Bat-Ray, depending on what episode you watched lol. Those pipes in the back aren't exhausts either. They are again, dual purposed being an emergency flare system and, an anti-theft system. A label for the signal flares was a flip down that said Anti-Theft during normal ops and flipped down to read 'Starter' when Batman and Robin parked on the street. This was demonstrated when the Joker (I think?) once tried to steal the Batmobile. I'd want to hyper detail this kit but it would be hard to choose which version of the interior to do. Or if I would cut open the doors, engine and trunk given how nice the body is on the kit. Ah....one day lol. Thanks again for a great kit reveal and build.
TH-cam has a video with all the Batman,Robin & guest star(s) "wall walking" scenes... great show & funny as hell ! Never missed a show.... would be sitting there TV tray at the ready waiting for some kind of Swansons TV dinner that was cooking in the oven ! 😆
I'm working on painting the unaltered "Futura" version by Revell, and I've got some bubbles in the dried paint. Does anyone have any tricks for dealing with that? I'm afraid that if I paint over it or sand it, it will look worse. Help would be appreciated!
My favorite scene is when Batman and Robin were walking up the side of the building and Santa Claus popped out of the window asking where the Batcave was. I liked on how Adam West and Burt Ward looked at the camera and said if you can't trust Santa who can you trust?
I built this snap kit too a couple of years back. The decals in my example were shocking though. They simply would not adhere to the parts regardless of what I did. I also left the figures out as that made it seem too toy like
That car came out beautiful!!! The red lines tures would have been nice and I would have detailed the turbine and exhaust to bring that extra "Bang" to it lol bit nice job keep up the good work!!!
That's the antenna on the top of the hood. I think I remember it being used in the 60s TV series and had sort of zig-zag beams coming out of it or something.
With today's tooling technology,these snap kits are much more accurate than those old reissue snap kits by Revell and Round 2.These kits are now worth buying compared to 10,15,20 years ago.

Thanks Mary!
Looks awesome Chris. That hood ornament was the bat radar if I remember correctly
Thanks Chris, makes sense!

The cross shaped antenna on the cowl shoots a laser beam. Also the t-handle under the roll bar activates the shoots. Nice review-thank you.

The kit shows it has a transmission and rear diff. Maybe the rocket is just for extra boosts of speed?
