Building the Aston Martin week by week.

This is a massive model of the James Bond Goldfinger Aston Martin. Available by subscription or at the newsagents it's a week by week partworks 1:8 scale kit that due to its size leaves lots of room for additional detail and modifications.

More information on this and other models, as well as a very useful forum can be found at:
