Ted Eckel's Batcycle

Haven't seen many of these built-up on CultTVMan. Painted to resemble Batcycle as seen in Adam West/Burt Ward Batman movie. I am a model maker with moderate experience. I mostly used Testors acrylic paints, Testors aerosol-can airbrush system and also regular brush. Then shot the cycle with Krylon Thick Gloss. I deliberately used glossy paints for the capes, as this more closely resembles the shiny satin material they were made of. For a modeler such as myself, the kit was somewhat challenging to put together -- parts did not fit well, especially the front cycle wheel covers.
