Aston Martin DBS

[martinfan5]

Just finished this one up, It is Tamiya's Aston Martin DBS kit, I really liked this kit, and enjoyed building it, not problems at all with this kit. It comes with a nice little P/E set, as well the metal transfers . I could not get the ones for the engine to stay on.

This was a OOB, I used Testors one coat lacquer graphite dust, and then clear coated with either the one coat clear or ultra clear lacquer, dont remember , I will say that I am very impressed with myself on this one. I did mess up a few things, and I did not do that great a job on the interior .

Enough of my blah blah blah, here are the pics

Cool model, I am not crazy about the color, just doesn't look right on this car. Did you use a clear on that paint?

[Dyno Davo]

Nice build, thought they were photos of the real car.

Thanks guys, yes it is clear coated, I know it does not show up well in the pics, I think it was part due to it was a over cast day .

LIAR!

You never see a single cloud down there. Don't blame your poor painting skills on the weather young man.

I for one like that color on that car. I've seen a real one painted a shade darker gray, and was fortunate enough to have sat in a black one.

I gotta get me one of these for sure, Tamiya that is.

G you are, right, I was mistook the smog for clouds , I kind of wanted a shade darker then what I have, I even used a black base coat, but I still like the shade. I have to admit, I was impressed with this color from the testor's one coat lacquer line, the metal flakes dont seem to be as big as in the other colors I have tried \

I almost went with black, I would highly recommend this kit
