1959scudetto Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) One of the classic British car icons, and world-wide known as the James Bond car - a very nice model from Danbury Mint in original Dubonnet red, a deep metallic red. Highly detailed, even for today's standards (it is from the 80/90's ?). Everything opens, even the very delicate looking fuel caps in the c-pillars, though I admit I haven't tried to open them for I don't want to break them. There is also a sunken radio antenna, some photoetched emblems, and the seats are covered with what looks like real leather - the weakest point is the heavy looking wire wheels, but anyway - a heavy and valuable model. I'm not sure if this has been posted long ago, but anyway - enjoy the pictures: Edited December 5, 2022 by 1959scudetto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Nice, I have this and the Bond car. Snake found it, Gary grabbed the new Motormax I think and posted recently. 3 colors I’ve seen, Bond version does not have much for features. Paint on these DMs are gorgeous.

Gramps46 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Beautiful model indeed. My favorite part are the rivets in the wooden steering wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks, Gary and Keyser - it is certainly one of the highlights among my 1/24 die-casts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
