Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage, we will be looking at the 1989 Batmobile By AMT/ERTL. This is a model car unboxing video we hope you will enjoy. 

I am so stoked to hear about the upcoming release of the latest Batman movie coming to theaters soon! It's called "The Batman" and boy, does it look great!

But why am I talking about a movie in a model car unboxing video? It's because I remember a time growing up in the late 1980's when another Batman movie hit the big screen. This was the first movie in a long line of gritty, dark Batman movies that have been a standard to this day.

This AMT ERTL 1/25th scale Batmobile from 1989 is precisely patterned after the movie car manufactured by George Barris Customs. 

Although this mode kit is basically a curbside only model lacking a fully detailed engine, the highly accurate parts fit together to produce an exact scale replica of the surefooted 1989 Batmobile. 

Power is provided by a super strong Jet Turbine with a thrust of 1500 lbs at 103% ROS and a torque of 175 lbs/ft. at 98.7% ROS.  0 to 60 speed is 3.7 seconds with an unknown top speed. Traction is provided by Goodyear High Aspect L60 x 15's mounted on the cast alloy wheels. Wheel base is a scale 141 inches with an overall length of 260.7 inches, just the right size for highway cruising and stopping crime. 

Taking a look at our kit, we begin with an easy to assemble 10-piece interior that includes a bucket, two bucket seats, a four piece shift gate with shift levers for fuel mixture, throttle  and the afterburner, steering wheel, dashboard, and dash board cowl.  

The rolling stock consists of the wheels, tires and wheel/tire back piece. These push on metal axles. 

The chassis, front and rear suspension, engine bottom, transmission, rear differential and exhaust pipes are molded as a unit.

Body pieces include the body shell, headlights, canopy, windshield, opera windows, machine guns, machine gun hatches, grappling hook, side doors, side intake panels, intake air scoops, boost pumps, fairing and jet intake.  Out back, you get the afterburner, afterburner nozzle, a pair of oil spray nozzles, clear red stop  and turn lamps and the inner portions of the Bat fins.  The bat fins are the only pieces on this model kit that would require some body putty to fill the gaps.

The canopy is removable so you can see inside the interior cockpit. 

Although this is a simple model kit, it would be good for youth transitioning from snap together models into glue and paint kits.
