[MOD] 75045 Batmobile "tweaked"

[r5-j2]

I just got this version of the Batmobile, it`s really very good ,but there are some weird color choices, the front wheels were way too light in color, so I swapped them out and used “press-on” black wheels (and the appropriate mounting bits) to replace them .I also made up better nose guns, bulked up the empty nose space under the gun position and raised the hinges behind the cock-pit, so the aero-foil “thingies” sloped down at a steeper angle and added exhaust pipes.Finally I dealt with the bright blue (why!!) elements in the cock-pit.I think it looks a bit meaner now, but why Lego didn`t go down this route at the design stage is a mystery (remember the yucky lime-green bits that were in the Avengers Black Panther Jet set?)

regards

Kenny.

Nice!

I did something similar with mine, but it ended up being majorly different than the set.

I like it, good work.

Thanks for the kind words, I`ll never be a master-builder (just not confident or creative enough to do total rebuilds like you guys do ), but I do like to have a "tweak" every now and then!!.

Best regards
