    I'm from Japan. I think that everyone who bought this product probably wants to paint it, but I'm not confident that disassembling it will take this much time. I understand well that it seems impossible to assemble it. I will consider a method of painting with only masking. Thank you for the very informative video. Thank you for your hard work.

    yes sir the front Turbine detail and indeed the back silver parts to come off there although on mine one of the silver glue parts were glued in a bit better it seams - but i just levered that one back and snapped it off, as i can just glue it back with Araldite two part epoxy glue. but yes what is glued and what is not can vary i suppose.

    I have only just begun to do any sort of modeling. Last time I did something like this it was 1979. I’m in no way ready to do anything like this but maybe someday I will get there. I bought a couple figures off eBay that were broken and bought the parts to fix, but painting is difficult for me.

    With more masking you shouldn't have to take it apart as much as I did. It's just the canopy being Grey that you have to take care of first then. After that could use a clear matte coat.

    How did you get those side intakes out? I had mine taken apart except for those. The front turbine just pops out. Going with satin black because the real car had a weird paint that mimicked a beetle shell according to the experts

    I had to press in on the tab close to the silver exhaust/metal tubing on the inside. It hooks in at the end of the intake, but tabs in by the silver parts. I was able to push the first one hard with my finger and second and pushed with the side of the screwdriver.

    It's a fair and accurate 89 style Batmobile for the new Flash movie as is. It's for the movie Flash. The minute difference or "differences" is to differentiate the 89Batman movie Batmobile from the new Flash movie"89 style Batmobile with sleeker and up to date features! Michael Keaton's hair and belt are different as well.

    I’m sorry, I’m not repainting a brand new toy. I’m very capable; it’s just more than any customer should have to deal with when buying a $60-70 (or more) toy. Almost every single review notes how terrible the canopy looks, and how they are anxious to “fix it”. As a Batmobile fan (I literally have hundreds), I would not have this flimsy plastic piece in my collection, unless it was $25 or less. I canceled my own order, just a few hours before it was due to ship, due to the ugly colors on this one. This new McF Batmobile might have just killed my fandom.

    If you want to get nitpicky, literally every part is wrong in some way. The color, the canopy, the lights, the side mechanics, the afterburner, the exhaust, the intakes, the vents, gun doors... you've got missing foot pads, the interior is entirely incorrect save the basic silhouette of the one seat, there are extra seams where there shouldn't be any but also missing seams right next to them, no gas caps, missing fin arches on the fenders, incorrect "Six Flags" rear end, pinched turbine opening, oversized turbine within that opening, elongated wheel hubs, missing windshield wipers, no2 headlight colors on what is ostensibly the no1 car, and the whole thing is 1/12 despite being made for 1/10 figures. I love mine, but it's got 100 problems and 98 of them are not related to budget at all.

    @@pennygadget7328 well... Did anybody stop to think that this isn't the actual 1989 batmobile. It probably looks like this, colors, differences in body and all... And everyone is saying they're fixing theirs. Todd usually like 99.99999% of the time makes figures, vehicles etc to the T of the source material whether it be comic, movie or what. So I just don't think it's a fix. That's my opinion and you're entitled to yours as well. Only my thoughts.

    @@BayleyCat3 It literally is the 1989 Batmobile, as in the the car used in The Flash is the original Evans' #1 car built at Pinewood back in '88, as has been confirmed through set photos and crew commentary. It has been retouched over the years for Returns, the OnStar commercials, and the 2012 Batmobile doc, but those changes have been largely relegated to paint, wipers, subtle side mechanics alterations (likely to assist Ohrberg in replication for the stunt/effects versions for Returns) and some literal tape behind the front wheel well. None of those changes are represented in this toy. Now it is entirely possible that there's some bizarro CG version in the movie that matches this, but the car they've shown on the set and in the ads has been the Evans original as it's been since 2012.
