Aston DB4GT Zagato chassis 0186/R

[Dave B]

Father Christmas has arrived in Tassie early this year.

Went out with my mates last night and Phil gave me a complete printed Zagato kit.

I bought the file some time ago and its just been printed.  The rest is outside in the sun curing.

Won't be started for some time yet!!

Yup - same in Miami …

Complete kit with chassis or a donor will be needed? Looks like a great project.

Perhaps just the angle of the photo... but the windshield looks very upright.

This again will be turned into a fabulous model, Dave. But Pierre is right: the windshield looks too steep/upright and the nose too short - at least In comparison, the former Jim Clark car from the Goodwood TT .

It has a sleeker, longer and lower look - see pic below:

Here in action in 1962:

Unfortunately guys it looks like you're right.  The windscreen posts are too upright but I doubt I'll be correcting them as resin is a little more fragile than plastic and it would also mean redoing the door window frames.

As for the nose I'm happy with the short nose version, it pretty much replicates the car I saw race at Longford back in the day.

It was old english white back then and was very successful for a short period of time.

Actually looks better from the angle of this new photo. Go for it Dave!
