Wayne S Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) It's 1am Christmas morning......I checked under the tree and Santa brought me the 1/24 Aston Martin DBS....comes with photo etch.I'm a big fan of the Vanquish.....and this is my little way of living my dream. Lucky you, those suckers cost a few pennies, does it come with 007s L.I.C plates? Edited December 25, 2010 by Wayne S Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SBARC Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Lucky you, those suckers cost a few pennies, does it come with 007s L.I.C plates? No JB licence plates....rear plate says DBS. It's a well done kit with full engine detail. There is also stick on lettering for the top of the engine, mirrors and the DBS lettering on the trucnk lid....these parts are made from chomed metal and have the perfect look. Unfortunately no carbon fiber decals were included. There are some aftermarket wheels I might buy. I have pondered doing it as it appearered after an accident as seen in the opening scenes to the most recent movie.......or as it appeared after the epic car crash roll over scene in Casino Royale. Mind you.....it does look awfully pretty in red. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unit19 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 My mother-in-law knows I build models, but nothing beyond that. Unaware of what type, scale or period. She walks into Hobby Lobby and chooses a model plane because she liked the cartoon character nose art on the box art. Blew me away when I unwrapped a 1/48 scale Academy F-86F-30! The exact model I'd been wanting, but had been putting off getting since they or not OOP yet. Very strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
