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 :lol: , 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

That is a great looking car. I would like to borrow a set of wheels to cast.

It is a great kit, on the pricey side, I paid $53 for it in two easy payments thru tower hobbies.
How long would you need the wheels for?

Probably three days tops. 1 wheel would be enough if they are all the same size. Two if they are different sizes. 1 front, one back for making the mold.

Sure, I would cast them for you. The Aston wheels are all the same size? I would have thought they would be different from front to back. I saw a show on how the Aston Martin cars are built. They are glued together, not welded. Thanks.
