McLaren model (as seen on TV)
Discussion
I'm getting a strange feeling of deja vu here.
We've had this thread so many times. HMS Victory, Lancaster, various cars, bikes, buildings etc. None of them are worth it. They're for non-model builders who wouldn't appreciate real quality if it fell out of the sky and flattened them.
For the last bloody time, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Add James Bond DB5 to that list...We've had this thread so many times. HMS Victory, Lancaster, various cars, bikes, buildings etc. None of them are worth it. They're for non-model builders who wouldn't appreciate real quality if it fell out of the sky and flattened them.

te?It's origins may be Kyosho, but this will not be a Kyosho kit per se. It's the same story every time.
The Flying Scotsman version, originally billed as build a working O Gauge A3 Pacific (we'll skip over the fact that the model represented (A3) and the livery applied are wrong (essentially A1)), was based on the excellent DJH kit. They went to DJH and said 'make this again for us, but cheaper. Much cheaper.' Which is why it went from a working O Gauge model to something that was only meant to run on a short piece of track. This was because in inisiting that it was created super cheap, DJH were asked to make certain vital parts in plastic not metal. To be fair these were replaced later.
I've seen some close up pictures of the Bond Aston. This is supposed to be based on a large scale Corgi collectors model that was never really released. Now, Corgi can produce some very nicely detailed models, even within their mainstay of mass produced road vehicles. As such, one would expect them to go to town on such a large scale model and from what I've heard, they did. The bit part Bond Aston is atrocious. It would be bad at 1/18th scale, but in the large scale it really is appalling. They made it cheaper.
They're following the age old adage, buy low sell high and boy do they sell high.

I bought issue 1 because it was only £1.99 & i will buy issue 2 @ £4.99 so that i build the nose cone & then display it on the single rear tyre that is in issue 2.
No way that i would spend such a ridulous amount of money on this model. Better off buying the recently released plastic kit from, i think, Revell whose kits are usually pretty good.
As for the Aston Martin - it really is no good at all.
