Moebius The Dark Knight: Batpod 1:25 Scale Model Kit

This was my first ever attempt at building a model from a plastic kit, and it was a lot of fun. This is a very well made kit, instructions are clear and all the parts fit perfectly. For a first-timer, I had no issues at all. The fully assembled Batpod is a tad under 6 inches.I used Tamiya very thin cement and Tamiya Flat Aluminum acrylic paint. I did little weathering - mainly scratches and scuff marks using the same paint - since I am still learning how to do it properly.

For the size of this Kit its very detailed, Instructions are very simple to follow and the small batman kit which is sold separately fits well on the Batpod, I would recommend this kit to advanced modelers.

It's rated a level 3 I'd imagine due to the small parts because otherwise it's a very simple, quick kit to build. Fits together perfectly, well molded pieces, an excellent kit from Moebius.

Unfortunately, I could not enjoy this build due to the model's scale (or size). The fit of the individual parts was fine and so were the instructions which were in English. However, since the pieces were so small some of the instructions regarding how to fit the handlebars weren't very clear and caused some frustrations. overall, this model came out to be a little over 4 inches when complete. the chassis of the model was just 3 1/2 inches long. If I had to do it all over again I would not purchase this model. Now that I understand vehicle scale which is completely different from aircraft model scale I would not purchase any car model less than 1/18 which is considered large scale.

Because the wheels did not fit the tires properlythe tires are too loose and the wheels are inside of it just wobbling around. I think whoever measured was a little off. other than that it was decent to build. but with the tires so poorly mounted it makes it a bad model.

Just what I Build/Collect . I am a scale snob of Model Cars/ Vehicles . I won't budge from 1/25 scale . If I'm forced to , I will buy 1/24 . It is a matter of storage / display for the completed builds . I cannot access a LHS ! God Bless .. John JR

Great product

Getting back into modeling and this one wow the parts where so small I needed tweezers and some parts didn't fit like I wanted but hopefully the batmobile I bought will be more fun. Paint what the bat pod is a dull black color. You need patience expecially for this model it's can be difficult to handle the small parts and keep them in place while guile sets enough to let go.
