Inspired by @johnlambert and his Airfix Aston Martin DB5 resurrection, I decided to have a go too, but in a different direction. So this squashed thing arrived today, minus a couple of parts, very flat and with some pieces already glued together. But at £6 it was OK for me:
Yes it's a DB5, and I want a DB4 GT, but I shall get to the main differences and then explain how I aim to try and bash it into shape. So for starters here are few photos of DB4 GTs I've seen over the years; more than I thought in fact. All are identified by their chassis numbers:

0123/R:
