Aston Martin DBR9 Full Detail - Just In

Couldn't resist sharing this with you guys as I know how many Aston fans there are out there! This is the new PM full detail Aston DBR9 that arrived in the post today. The kit looks awesome, can't wait to get started on it, but I have so much to finish off first. Still, I can drool over the parts!

BTW - it's 1:43 for those that claim that you can't get good detail in that scale. Hope this changes your mind. The picture is a scan from the instrutions.

Very nice!

The DBR9 ranks up there with the Panoz Esperante GT-LM as the best looking cars out there IMO.

I wish someone would make a kit for one of these

The DBR9 is a great car and this kit look terrific !

I still don't like working on 1/43, but there is some awesome detailed kit on this scale. I will wait the 1/24 Renaissance one, but I will surely watch this thread.

First the curbside, now the full detail version. Looks awesome, more detailed than most 1/24th scale kits. I just hope your eyes don't go funny dealing with so many tiny parts.

Re: Aston Martin DBR9 Full Detail - Just In

1:43...??? What the... ? How'd they cram all that in there?!

Looks like a stunning kit! Will have to buy (a) glasses and (b) this beaut! In that sequence, because I can't imagine leaving that in the to-do-heap! Then again, maybe not the ideal one to do as a first venture into 1:43 (which is a thought I've been playing around with for quite some time).

Now, where did I put my credit card?

That kit would be the one to finally tip my hand to try a 1/43 kit!!
I really look forward to seeing what you do with this!!
