Finished my 1/24 Profil Aston Martin V8 Vantage

[Mike C]

It's a resin kit. Frankly I like the 1/43rd resin kits better. In 1/24 I would rather do plastic kit. Here's a phot of the 1/1 car and then the model.

Beautiful Aston Martin.  Very well done.

Really nice!  I would love to see this shot in styrene.

That's a very nice build Mike, tks for sharing.  I don't see very many Profil 24 builds up on the forum.

Very nice looking model. Nice detailing.

Resin has its own set of challenges where it differs from styrene.

This thread shows a very nice model build from that Profil 24 Aston kit I must say.

Hard to believe that is 1/43.  What a nice model.

It's not 1/43rd, it's 1/24.

Amazing details and very good looking car!  I think one of the winglets on the rear spoiler is slightly misaligned, but I am sure it would be an easy fix.  Other than that, I really dig this Martin!  Superb work!

Yeah, you're right about the misaligned winglets (actually end plates). The wing has a little warp to it. When I was building the kit I accidently broke the wing into 3 equal parts. I had to glue them putty and sand it to get it to look right. The endplates have a recess in them for the wing tip to fit into. That's why its misaligned.
