Aston Martin Vantage

There's been a few threads here lately about the lack of Aston's, TVR's etc. Well, here's the best I can do - It's a 1/43 Aston Martin Vantage resin kit by Provence Moulage.

I think fairly typical for a 1/43 resin kit, good quality moulding but not much detail and WAY too small for me to add some. Only real problem was the clear parts - Windows and headlamp lenses have to be cut from a single vac-form moulding. This part was not fun, requiring lots of patience and a few attempts to get it right.

Painted using Halfords sprays - Daewoo Racing Green, and detailed using Humbrol enamels. Wheels chromed using BMF.






Come on you guys......There must be more Aston's out there....????

I wish!

Looks very nice

I'd love to try a 1/43 sometime but I think I already have too many 1/24s that I'll never do

Re: Aston Martin Vantage

Super subject and build! As you say, been a bit of a call for Aston Martin kits (1/24th genarally) on this forum lately. We need to start a petition.

Nice to see some "SMALLER" stuff !!!

Nice work, bud! Especially noted of the BMF on the wheels! Perfect color choice too! What brand and name is the interior color?


Come on you guys......There must be more 1/43rd's out there....????

I forget the exact colour, but it's Humbrol enamel. I much prefer these and always use them when brushing (except Tamiya acrylics for clear colours).
