A little inspiration for the upcoming GB.

Derek is a decent modeler, and does a lot of sci-fi kitbashes.

That's cool!

Wonderful batplane, for Batman?

Aye! Judging from this one, I agree. I like his style!

Unfortunately as I am not subscribed to Facebook, I can not see a damned thing.

Lovely. I esp. like the fact that it has been retrograded to spats, which perfectly blend in and add to the overall look!

I just wonder where the radiators are, but, well, it's a Batplane!

I guess Ward Industries finally cracked "evaporative cooling".

I just looked for the original batplane to joke it's the bat-ears above the head. When too hot inside, Mr Batman just cracks the canopy open and sticks them out.

That Dan Thompson's Batplane, the model is over twenty years old, it got a 2nd in
Hypothetical at the 1996 IPMS-USA Nationals:

It's from issue #167 of The Brave and the Bold from 1980.

How he built it:

Nicely done!

I thought that was a rendering of the Retrokits "Batplane 1941" and had no idea it was a kitbash / scratch creation! That makes it even more impressive.

Found these on the Facebook Scale Modellers page a while back. Just haven't gotten around to posting them. I found some whifs in here, from the Malaysia Miniature Hobby Show 2018.

This is a CLOSED group, so this link may just bring you to a dead end: https://www.facebook.com/groups/crumblebuilders/permalink/812639865605819/

Just a couple it would seem!
