Reviews : Moebius Suicide Squad Batmobile

This BvS Batmobile is one strange-looking vehicle - sort of a armor-plated lunar buggy. That said, this kit is well-made and great fun. The painting instructions are pretty lame (everything seems to be labeled black with silver highlights), so you'll want to do a little research on this car before you paint anything. I recommend the Batmobile Featurette on the BvS DVD. The box says this kit is Skill Level 3, but I thought it was pretty easy to paint and assemble. There is one part of the assembly towards the end which is a little frustrating - you'll know it when you see it, the pieces are labeled Left and Right Spider - but otherwise, I think this is a fairly easy kit to slap together.

The exterior and cockpit of this Batmobile are well detailed. When built straight from the box, the model has a large empty space in front of the dashboard, making it awkward to display with the canopy off. I glued my canopy in place. The struts that mount the rear wings to the body are very fiddly, but with patience and fast setting CA glue, it can make quite a striking feature on the finished model. The finished Batmobile looks great on my display shelf.

This was such a great kit. I bought a second one. The wings on the back was the most difficult thing. Struggled with that a bit. Hopefully the second one will be easier now that I have a better idea of what I need to do. The next on I will build with a bit of out of the box my flavor to it. This is what I think is the best batcar so far.

Highly detailed kit, not for beginners. It is amazing when completed.
