Aston Martin Ulster, Matchbox, 1/32


Recommended Posts

Another of Matchbox's excellent 1/32 car kits  -- 30s sports cars are a big theme in their line-up.

I did a bit of plumbing and detailing under the bonnet -- particularly adding the steering column, without which it looks very odd under there. The only flaws I can see with the kit are that the engine should really be a bit longer and closer up to the radiator, which would give more room for the ancillaries around it, and it doesn't quite capture the low, wide stance of the real thing. I think if I was doing another one not out of the box, I'd try and taper the bonnet down to a slightly shortened radiator...

best,

M.
