discussion Steffes Revell 1/24 James Bond Aston Martin DB5

[Stefee]

Hi all,
I thought I had posted the build thread in the under construction thread but it's in "Whats onthe bench" - total numpty. If interested it's on pages 7,8 and 9.
Not 100% happy with this build at all. Despite weeks in between filling in the sunroof and bullet proof shield it has sunk and is clearly visible. The chromework is just about acceptable but very pleased with the interior and modified front bumper ( see previous postings as above if you want). Being a click together kit meant having to ream out holes etc. to get rid of excess paint.
Here's some piccies - comments and criticism welcome.

Outstanding work, at first I thought the first picture was a shot of the car you were modelling it on.

Thanks for that - looks better on camera than in person.
Here's a shot of the model using Gemini AI.

Very nice model.
Not many would attempt to de Bond this kit.

Excellent work. Love the AI image, and that’s not something I thought I’d ever say

Nice paintwork looks like metallic mica red

It's Proscale Paints Jaguar Monza Red pre thinned lacquer which is very close the original Aston Dubonnet Red.
I use their primers and paints alot and find them excellent and reasonably priced.
