Re: ASTON MARTIN Dbs

Good to see one of these completed already - looks great! I have started mine too but haven't decided on the paint & interior colour schemes...

Oh, and I agree that it is a pity about the dash, but I'm not confident enough yet in my modelling ability to convert / correct it.

Very very nice!
Can you tell me how you have made the silver side window trim - surroundings?
They look very sharp!

Looks really good! I'm not trying to offende you but you do know that the top Aston is a V8 Vantage, it would be cool if they did make a V8 Vantage kit!

Me too, I want a v8 vantage kit (personally I think the car looks more into proportions beside the DBR-9)

Re: ASTON MARTIN Dbs

Does anyone know the color of the usual aston color (greenish metallic color)?

I like how your model came out. First one ive seen that was built well. Clean job.
