Snake45 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Just got an ad from DMW advertising a new (to me, anyway) Motormax 1/24 Aston-Martin DB5. Not a horrible price by today's standards. Anyone ever seen one of these? https://www.diecastmodelswholesale.com/products.php?product=Aston-Martin-DB5-RHD-(Right-Hand-Drive)-Silver-Metallic-James-Bond-007-"Goldfinger"-(1964)-Movie-"James-Bond-Collection"-Series-1{47}24-Diecast-Model-Car-by-Motormax&showHidden=true 1
keyser Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Hadn’t seen it. Cool. Can’t search that site by scale? ??♂️
spencer1984 Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 They're also doing the Mustangs from Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. I'm hoping they sell well enough that we may finally see a Vanquish or DB10 in 1/24 scale.

Checking my list, I see I have a 2012 Aston-Martin Vanquish in maroon. Probably made by Welly. Also have a DB9 (2010?). The Motormax "James Bond" '64 Mustang seems to be priced a few dollars higher than the last issue of it I saw. 007 licensing, or just inflation?
Gramps46 Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Thanks to Snake's tip, I just received the Motormax Bond Aston Martin DB5. The doors open and the roof hatch is removeable but that is it. The wire wheels are not bad actually. But look at the headlamps. I am disappointed with them. Here is a comparison with the Danbury Mint DB5. Edited September 14, 2022 by Gramps46
1959scudetto Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 There is also a stock version available in British Racing green or in a shade of metllic gold, Gary. I was tempted first, but refused to buy, as I also have the Danbury Mint version in Metallic Red. Here are the colors: https://www.carmodel.com/search?keyword=MOTOR-MAX+-+ASTON+MARTIN+-+DB5+1963&order=&resultsPerPage=&priceorder=&country=&scale=all&nuOb=&trademark=&year=&brand=&mat=&price=
Hoffman Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 That looks pretty good, Gary! Thanks to you and Snake for sharing. My first thought was, what if you combined one of these with parts from an Aurora DB4. I've got a Doyusha DB5 already, but I think I'll go ahead and pick up one of the green Motormax versions too.
Snake45 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Posted September 24, 2022 DMW is now advertising this model in non-Bond form (solid roof) in gold and Brit green for $17.99.
