If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Batman's Batboat
Thanks Guys.
Progress has been ongoing on this, but I forgot to take any photos,
but here is where it stands at the moment:
The red stripes are made from painted tape, and the silver stripes are strips of silver tape.
Next step is to put the decals on.

Re: Batman's Batboat
When I came to put the decals on I realised that the ones for the base and rear fin had a red background, rather than yellow. 
To overcome this I have printed out a couple onto decal paper. The problem with the decal paper I use is that the colours are always quite thin, and need to be mounted on a white background, hence the white discs painted on the fin.
Nearly done though.

Re: Batman's Batboat
Finished:
The home made decals on the back fin are not as good as I had hoped, the problem is painting an accurate white oval on which to place them. I am tempted to rub the area down and starting again once I fathom it out, but that can wait for another day.
It is quite a basic kit to build, the thing with these kits it is more about the painting than the building.
Overall I am happy with it, and looks OK next to my other Batman builds.

Zow-eee Batman
To quote the Batman series;
Superintendent Watson: Well, I think this calls for a cup of char at venerable Ireland Yard.
Robin: Char?
Batman: Yes, Robin, a colloquialism for tea.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
