What is the history of the BATMOBILE?

It's hard to start a batman model collection without knowing its history. He is a superhero in the DC Comics universe. The character is well known for his tragic and intriguing story. As a child, he witnessed the murders of both his parents. This situation forged him to become Batman, the protective hero of Gotham City.

A further element stood out in feature films about batman adventures. This is the Batmobile. This car, a simple red Sedan in 1939 has undergone changes from year to year. Ranging from a Chevrolet Corvette to a Ford Mustang in 1988, it has become a car with a futuristic look and gadgets of all kinds. The common points between all these cars are the dark color, often black, and the shape of the Batman mask FIX2E on the front.

Sisi, a Batmobile mock-up can be a good idea to start a collection. For a more elaborate model, it is also possible to opt for the Batman Tumbler model.

What scale to take for a Batman model?

In the field of modeling, scale is an important criterion for choice. It refers to the size of the miniaturized model relative to that of the actual version. It thus makes it possible to define whether the model is rather large or small. Regarding the Batman model,there are several scales:

● 1/8;

● 1/62;

● 1/32;

● Etc.

Note that the smaller the second digit, the larger the model is and may be difficult to assemble. Models with this type of scale is not recommended for beginners. Thus, novices must take a ladder with the second larger digit. However, those who appreciate the challenges can opt for a mock-up of a difficult level. Outside help is still advisable to ensure the smooth running of the operation. In short, the level of skills must be taken into account in order to correctly choose the appropriate scale. Note, do not forget to buy the adapted modeling kits when buying the batman paper model,plastic or metal.

What are the different themes and characters for a Batman model?
