I once had a concept artwork poster of the Batwing from Burton's first Batman, and noticed that it looked more sleek than the final movie prop. Anyone notice that? I like them either way though.
I did notice that the wing surface on the craft was completely flat which kinda dampened my ideas of doing a radio-controlled larger version of it. I'm no aero-dynamics expert, but I'm familiar with the curved upper surface on most, if not all winged aircraft which gives them their lift.
If it doesn't work on my model (and I'll do rough tests first), I will have to add a little curve to the surface panel (but hopefully not to obvious) to achieve the lift required.
I plan to use a model kit of the Batwing as my main reference. Any pics of finshed models would be appreciated if you could post them here. Thanks.
I like the final version much much better than the design painting made originally.

Thanks! Very interesting, I've never seen most of those before.
Has anyone seen photos of the new 1:50 Scale Hot Wheels BATWING yet? It's suppose to come out in 2009, maybe January.
Here's a pic of the 1989 Batmobile Car they're gonna make:

Will the Batmobile have a sliding canopy?
I cant wait to get that thing!
Every hot wheels version is a little different the only one thats really exact is the 60's show batmobile.

Very cool. Can't wait to see some pictures from this, the 89 batwing is my favourite Batman plane. Ever. In any medium. It's got some good gear on it too. Two browning machine guns, missiles, front shears, multi-function binoculars and spotlights. In the making of B89 book, it notes it has lasers, but I'm not sure about that.

I won't say that I told you guys about this during the San Deigo Comic Con thread but I did! ;D

I have the Batmobile. Yes. The canopy slides. It's a pretty f-ing cool in my book! I found it on a complete fluke on a trip to Toys R Us in July. Now I am on the hunt for the Batwing. Sure it's on Ebay, but I want to have fun chasing it down!
The Hot Wheels 1/50 scale cars are a great series of cars and a great investment for collectors just because they are a great detailed car!
Here is some pics of a completed Batwing model:

I gotta get me one of those!!
Ive seen the miniature used in the movie personally when I was in NYC in Planet Hollywood. I didnt know it was there and I just couldnt believe it was it and that this is THE Batwing from this iconic movie and from all those scenes. I regret not having a camera at the time
Along with the Batman '89 batmobile, the batwing from the film something I'll definitely like to have as well. So darn iconic!
