Custom VW Van

Hot Wheels VW Van.
It is more aerodynamic, sort of.
The back of the card is filled with useless information.
Interesting how the air flows through the back of the vehicle.
 A wind tunnel test would be interesting.
It seems to have very little interior room for a van.
It does look cool.
Even underneath.
Likely it will spend time with my beach people or racing crowd.

Batman 66

 




https://www.facebook.com/groups/833572732624872

 Today I started a new Facebook group.  If you follow this blog you know I have an interest in Batman.  As a child I admired the fictional characters devotion to duty and crime fighting.  It may have contributed to my desire to be a police officer as an adult.

Here is the specific description of the group: 

 Batman 66 is about the Batman TV show, the specific comic book series Batman '66 and the animated series Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, Batman vs. Two-Face, and of course the original Batman movie. AI or other media should accurately depict the original characters in a manner respectful to the atmosphere of the shows. This is a family friendly group for people who love the performances of Adam West and Bert Ward as Batman and Robin. This is a no sales group.

This is a great looking car, I picked up several, and I may repaint some and may swap some engines too.
Nice bubble canopy.
Parachute pack.

Overside.
The side.  With 1/72nd scale plastic figure for size.

Arrow Dynamic

Race car by Hot Wheels.
Hot Wheels has released at least a dozen variations on this car.
It is part of my Formula 1 racing series.
It's a very good model but sadly no driver.
My plan is to add drivers to most of them.
I also intend to repaint the majority of them.
Race cars often function in teams and so often have the same paint schemes as those on the same team.
I will also need to add numbers.
Here are all my red ones.
So, maybe keep three or four in red and paint the others.
