Spiny Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I was always under the impression this was a terrible kit, but it doesn't look it from the photos. I presume this is a reflection of the quality of your build, even if it was quick as it looks good in the pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't for me in the post, but if you right click on the icons and click 'open image in new tab' they'll show up. I believe it's something to do with security settings on Dave's website after the last BM upgrade. Keith 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The right click thing worked for me. Thanks, Keith. Nice build, Dave. Centuries ago I built the 007 version. I still have the instructions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Nice job, only the wheels let it down, they look like the same ones that came with my Monogram Maserati 3200GT and they just look a little undersized. But I can't criticise the build at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that but Google have added my domain to a spammer blacklist and you have to change settings in Chrome or Edge to see the pictures. A link to how to do it is in my signature although others have pointed out that right-clicking on a picture link and displaying the picture in a new tab works. UPDATE Feb 2021: My images have been moved to a new domain which has solved the non-appearance of my images so the link to the solution that was in my signature has been removed.

Any of the kit parts resembling the box artwork is purely coincidental: My 1/24 build is a 2001 Airfix reboxing of a Doyusha kit: On 11/24/2020 at 9:35 PM, Pete in Lincs said: The right click thing worked for me.

I have a James Bond version in my stash and this build was practice for when I come to build it next year: Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Dave, didn't know you could do that - so I can see your pics again now, and much easier than right clicking them all!

malpaso Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 From what I read on another car modelling site, the 60s Airfix 007 DB5 is a completely different kit from the later Airfix/Doyusha DB5? As in not just the 007 hardware but the whole kit is different. Doyusha version good but 60s Airfix better especially in the profile of the “rockers” which from Americish must have meant the sills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 That is correct. From our entry in the History of Airfix Kits on the ATF, the details of the other 60's Aston Martin kit are below: 1679 Aston Martin DB5 1/24 scale. Motorised snap-together kit. Available in 1966 (?) Not listed in Fourth Edition (1966) catalogue or on price list. Listed as missing in 2002. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
