Decool 7105 Batmobile - WIP 3 (Final)

Final leg of the journey

 

With most of the assembly completed in the previous post, there are a few more minor things to add-in to the Tumbler such as weapons and a couple of flaps, give it some wheels and it is ready for action. 

Flaps attached to the Tumbler

 

 

The flaps on the top can be individually moved.

 

The Tumbler has a cannon at the back which can be lifted up and 2 flick missiles at either side which can be moved 360°:

 

The cannon is fired by pressing down the tab on the top. This is a different design than the Bat Fighter where it is automatically launched if the back is lifted too high.

 

Tyres and rims for the Tumbler. All the rims are of the same size.

 

Time to give the Tumbler some wheels

To conclude this review, below is a list of all the pros and cons and the conclusion of what I think about this set according to my personal experience.

Pros:

- Sleekier version of the Tumbler
- Parts goes well together
- Printed parts

Cons:
- Missing steps in the instruction booklet
- Tyres cannot roll simultaneously

Conclusions:

The tumbler was not my favorite batmobile  because it looks very big and clumsy when I first saw it. I guess this version of the Tumbler grew on me because it looks sleek and sporty. Assembling this kit was not hard at all. It just consist of lots of layers upon layers like a layer cake until the end of the build.

A piece of advice to those who are building this. Please be extra careful and gentle when attaching the back tyres. It can sometimes be hard to push in and if force is given without caution, the technic piece where the tyres go will break.

I would recommend  this kit to anyone thinking of getting it because the original Lego is either impossible to find in store or it will cost an arm and a leg. If you are able and willing to spend more, please buy and support the original.
