Has anyone designed a model of Green Hornet's Black Beauty

Has anyone designed a paper model of the Green Hornet's Black Beauty? I don't like the look of the new movie, it looks too silly. I would love to see a good paper model of the 1960s car. It would be great to have one to match the 1960s Batmobile designed by Claudio Dias.

I plan on doing a KoolWheelz version, but that is probably way down the road.

Never was a Green Hornet fan when it was on TV
but I can't wait to see this film

I've been playing with the idea, but, like Dave, I'm a long way off. The cars used in the new movie are significantly different from the original Dean Jeffries though they are still '64-'66 Chrysler Imperials.

Green Hornet reruns is on Syfy right now, or was it on FX? Don't remember. I recall I love to watch that show when I was kid back in HK. So I watch the reruns again, twice I could not get pass 10 minutes. The show is just too stupid. But I really like the car.

Hey Guys I'm willing to wait for a good model. Air Dave I like your KoolWheelz and downloaded the 5th Element Taxi. Just haven't had time to build it. Are you planning the Police Car version?

I did think about doing the Cop car too,
but Korben's Taxi was the priority.

I also thought I might come back in the future and do the Cop Car
and now that someone has shown an interest, I will do just that.

I don't know when I will get back to doing Koolwheelz, but becuase of the current Movie, I might have to try the Black Beauty sooner!

Allen,

You aren't kidding about how hard to watch the old show is. I did find a neat bit of trivia, though while researching the Black Beauty. Turns out that The Green Hornet was created by the same two guys that created The Lone Ranger, and that the Green Hornet, Britt Reid, was supposed to be the grandson of The Lone Ranger, Dan Reid. Neat!

What's the diffence between the black beauty from the original series
And the new movie

Yea! That's really neat. I love the original Lone Ranger! Much better show then Green Hornet. So, what about Dan Reid's son? He in some show too?

I can't find blueprint for Black Beauty, anybody see it anywhere?

Heres a link to the Black Beauty restoration website if it helps.

I'm looking for blueprints but so far no luck.
