Hi, first post about doing a mod, but I felt pretty passionate about this one. Having grown up with the "original" Batman films, I loved the UCS Batmobile, and while I also love the lego Batwing, the elongated cockpit really struck me as a bit NQR. I tried various mods on mecabricks, and while the most accurate "shrinkage" (based on the original studio model) of the length of the cockpit would require the removable of (two) of the sections of 1/4 clear wall elements, this would require a full blown redesign of the seat and cockpit to fit it all in the remaining one. I also tried utilizing the new UCS A-wing canopy, but it's width isn't the 8 studs required (6 only), and again, a full redesign would be needed (which is a shame as it is a more accurate shape compared to this sets design) So finally, I settled on removing 2x BOW 1/4 4X4X1 which effectively shortened the length by about 2-3 studs (along with removal of other parts that were between the two cockpit sections). This allowed me to move the front of the canopy backwards 1 stud (more screen accurate) and also move the back "shell" (WALL ELEMENT CONE 3X6X6) forwards - again more screen accurate. To complete the look, I'm planning on printing some back vinyl to make the rear section of the canopy a sloping black area (rather than clear all the way back then a vertical black where the shell starts). The other major change I made was to remove some of the dark grey "detailing" to remain more screen accurate - especially the spoilers. I narrowed them by a stud to take advantage of the void below them created by removing the two LDG 2x6 bricks, which then allowed them to sit much more flush when down (with some detailing underneath 1 stud lower than the rest of the wing area) Instead of writing more, maybe I'll just show what I'm talking about, as it will hopefully make more sense that way. Happy with the overall result. Original model: Original studio model:

I show you my MOC of the Batwing from the Arkham Asylum Video game. This MOC has 429 pieces. Let me know what you think about this MOC! :) Tell me which one would you like to see next time or tell me what you want me to build! Special Thanks to Lucas / The Incinerator14 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/theincinerators) for the advice and his kindness! I credit Giulio Manuelli too (http://www.moc-pages.com/home.php/102785). He made an Arkham Asylum Batwing too but 4 years before mine. Although similar, I didn't copy his design. It's just a big coincidence but by respect, I credit him! :) The Display is highly inspired by the MOC of Outer Rim Emperor.

I got a couple of the propeller pieces that I used on this creation. I looked at rebrickable to see how it was used by Lego and in mocs. I didn't see anyone using it for a plane so I decided to design a Batplane. It has two propellers and shaped like the P-38 Lightning. Lex Luthor captured Superman and hacked into the Dark Knight's computer system. He was able to crash the Batwing remotely. Batman couldn't rely on anything with an on board computer. The old WW2 plane he purchased a long time ago was refitted into a new Batplane. I'm not entirely happy with the landing gears. The plane is angled up too high I think.

BATWING 360 is a homage to the 1989 BATMAN Batwing with a few modifications. It's a two seater plane with an easy canopy access. The 360 name comes from the fact that the wings can rotate 360 degrees on its axis. Aside from that, said wings can flip up or down 90 degrees. All these allow for a variety of display or play set ups. This is my second build. Your opinions, suggestions and comments are most welcome. Thanks and Happy Building. more pictures on this link https://ideas.lego.com/projects/135499

Doors and Cable by [DustyBricks], on Flickr Landing Gear Retracted by [DustyBricks], on Flickr It has opening doors in the back, a cable, retractable landing gear and a comfortable cockpit that can fit one Batman, cape and all! I also tried to build it so that the plane resembles the batsignal from a bird's-eye-view. Enjoy!
