Model Factory Hiro 1/24 Aston Martin DBR9 LM

The Aston martin DBR9 debuted in sports car racing in 2005 and achieved success at Sebring with a win in the LMGT1 category and a third place in that category at Le Mans that year. The model here is the Le Mans entry as depicted in the 1/24 scale Model Factory Hiro multimedia (resin,metal and photoetch) kit. As with all Model Factory Hiro kits the design and detail are well executed but trial fitting is imperative and a little fettling is required. The kit builds up into a great replica, particularly highlighted by the Aston Martin green metallic paintwork and extensive carbon fibre decalling finish. Hope you enjoy.

Maybe it is an issue on my laptop, but i don't see any pictures

Very nice work!

Well done! Color looks spot on, what did you use? I have the Renaissance kit in the stash to build...someday.

Excellent work!

In answer to your question Mike, the colour is actually an automotive spray can decanted for airbrushing. Zero Paints from the UK currently make a factory colour matched range of paints for all the different racing Aston Martins. I have used their paints for other projects and was impressed. They are a matt finish and require a clear coat, either their own or I use Tamiya lacquer spray can clear decanted for airbrushing.
