Batskiboat from "Batman Returns" (1992), SCALE: 1/25
The Batskiboat made a brief appearance in Tim Burton's 1992 "Batman" sequel, "Batman Returns," as the Caped Crusader used this jet-powered hydrofoil to pursue The Penguin through the sewers of Gotham City.
Like all the vehicles in Burton's two "Batman" movies, the Batskiboat enjoyed about five minutes of screen time before it was summarily wrecked.
The Batskiboat was never used again, it was most likely destroyed by the penguin rockets that decimated a large portion of the zoo.
Batman would later use a more traditional type of water vehicle called the Batboat.
This is a snap-together kit, requiring no glue and aimed at the beginning modeler of 8 years of age on up.
The kit comes in a tray and lid type box.
The boxart shows the Batskiboat tooling along at high speed in a illustration that looks like a frame out of a comic book.
Side panels have photos of the model made up and a listing of the kit’s features: removable cockpit roof with separate smoke tinted windshield, detailed interior includes high-tech seat with headrest and shoulder restraints, separate throttle control and instrumentation, aerodynamic body styling includes hydrofoils and vertical tailfin, 18 easy snap-together parts and complete assembly instructions, molded in black with bright chrome parts...
Inside the box is a large sealed cello bag holding 5 trees of jet black parts, a loose smoked windshield part and a loose tree of chrome plated parts...
There are no decals in the kit...
The instructions and an additional instruction correction sheet complete the kit’s contents...
The instructions consist of a large sheet that accordion folds out into 6 pages...
This then folded over again 4 times to fit the box...
The pages are a large 7 ½” x 17 ¼” format...
And all this for 18 easy snap-together parts!
One can only detail the cockpit, the envelope, well, with a little putty here and there, it looks better...
I sprayed the model with a very dark blue metallic paint, a matte black is not very logical to me, because it was in the water...
Hope, you like it.
