Aston Martin

Check this out:

I don't build many sportscars but I  will have to make an exception for this, Aston Martins always manage to pull of stupidly expensive and impractical car without screaming midlife crisis mobile.

Thanks Josh! It's nice to see that Tamiya putting that out. I won't have to wait long.

Cheers,

Tamiya Aston Martin DBS

In may Tamiya is releasing a 1/24 DBS

There are several Aston race cars available, but few if any street cars.  The race versions are primarily resin kits and quite pricey.  Airfix is supposed to be coming out with some racecars in plastic, but they will be 1/32 and static versions of the Scalextric (?) slot cars-which are pretty nice.

There is a very old DB4 kit and I'm not even sure it is 1/25, it may be a smaller scale. With all the other exotic cars kits of Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini etc out there and the Bond connection you would think there would something from Aston Martin available.

It's a little better for Jaguar but overall not a whole lot of British sports car love from the model companies.

Same here. On my Christmas wish list for next year. AM Vanquish S would be nice...Revell. Even with all the Bond stuff you would think they would go there. Lots of other stuff to do first I guess.

Happy New Year!!
