LotusGuy238 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 This is the original issue of this model I picked up at the Concours de Elegance at Amelia Island for a good price. This is a very cool and detailed model for it to be so old. Obviously fitment wasn’t too great but it came out nice in the end. I love the color I chose. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Evans
bbowser Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Very nice! I can attest to the fact that this is not an easy kit to get together, great work.
Phildaupho Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Yes the color choice works very well on a very attractive Aston. What paint did you use as I am looking for a similar shade for a project?
LotusGuy238 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 It is tamiya spray lacquer. I believe the number is ts-58.
Gramps46 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Another of your very clean builds. Well done and I can attest to the fact that the others are correct, not an easy build. I built the original Aurora version.
martinfan5 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Nice work. I gave up building the one I have, maybe one day I will finish it.
peekay Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Difficult kit and they sure don't all turn out this good!
Snake45 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Very nice! The old Aurora kit, right? I did a "survivor resto" of one of those last year and could tell it was a very "fiddly" build. I'd like to try one from a new kit if I ever run across one. Well done and model on!
Hoffman Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Excellent job! Looks great. Did the wheels and tires come from another kit?

Snake - you have a PM.

The wire wheels that came with the kit were awful. I recieved the wire wheels and tires from a meme bed here on the forum. They are from the Tamiya Jaguar MK2 Saloon.
Hoffman Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Evans, I thought maybe that was the case. Thank you very much! I appreciate it. And one more time; Beautiful DB4. Well Done!
