No probs.
I'm doing the same thing on a re-pop to thrash around with.
Lucky there is not much detail on it, so I should be able to do this one OK.

These pictures HERE are no better help... the grille normally has two silver and black decals missing on the model shown by Steve. It is otherwise A-OK...
Electric Dreams has NOS decals for the grille in case this car belongs to you.

I thought there was meant to be something on the front, but wasn't sure.
I checked out ED site and noticed the Side Bats in red for the Classic version, but not the Grille.

Can you provide a link to the Grille, if one exists?
:huh:

Noticed this topic and have been wanting to ask if anyone has seen a BZ Batmobile with the Red BZ decal logo on the side by the front quarter panel, there is one on each side.

I have seen countless BZ Batmobiles but never one with the Red BZ emblem on the side.

Also this version must have been an early issue because it has the Bat emblem on the rear tires instead of the BZ logo.

Best Regards,

Don

Hi Don,
That's because someone other than the factory stuck it there. It comes from the decal sheet added inside the boxes of the BZ Banshee, BRM and Watson RTR models.

Also this version must have been an early issue because it has the Bat emblem on the rear tires instead of the BZ logo.

Actually no, this set of tires comes from the Cannon Bat-Ray RTR, of which tires with the little bats were a special order from Riggen. At one time in the life of this bat, someone installed the decals and the tires. Is it a recent or older installation is the question. Early issues had a white instead of yellow tray inside their plastic boxes and never had either of the items shown above.
