Revell Aston Martin DB5 All Done!

Revell Aston Martin DB5 All Done!
This is a very fun kit. Everything went together fairly nice. Some things were tighter than they should be for a kit made for younger hands. I wish all kits made their mirrors fit like this kid did. Nice long locator pins molded right into the part. The only thing I can complain about the kit is the way they molded the seats. The cut point was dead center on the top of the seat where you can see it. Also the way the ejection seat roof part was molded. It looks just like a flux capacitor. Other than those minor things, this kit is FANTASTIC.

Wow, the Austin Martin turned out GREAT!!!!!!!!! 👍👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

Just might get one and put in my grandson’s time capsule box. Nice job

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

That is such a great idea.

[@davidchin350]

The AM DB5 came out real nice. Hard to imagine it any color than this silver. Saw this snap kit on display at the Revell table with all the parts laid out on a board and it looked real nice.😊

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. Yes, I don't think any other color would look right. I am very impressed with the kit and how well it went together. I think you would have fun with it.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice looking build. Well designed kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. It is well designed, and a lot of fun too.

[@PhillipJ]

Fun build Mark….that sound track is perfect for this build!!!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks. I had a lot of fun building it and doing the videos.

[@theintake8961]

Nice build Mark! 😎👍

[@tjeisenbraun647]

Truly Incredible! The music and pictures at the end crack me up!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks TJ

[@richiek6379]

Oh I forgot...you should be up to 50,000 LOL. That's how much I enjoy your videos and tips.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I honestly never thought I'd have 50 let alone 500, and thanks to people like you I'm looking at 5000. It is so humbling to know that all of you subscribed to my channel. I feel so blessed every day.

@@grandpamarkshobbies Hey you're doing a wonderful job Mark. We are blessed to have you and your work.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

[@owenmcdonald6479]

Very nice vids on this model and a pleasing outcome. With the links below I was expecting you'd added LED lighting to it as well. Maybe with the next one? 👍👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I wasn't sure how to get the wires to the lights. You build up to the lights and things were all blocked.

[@user-zp9ub3pt3r]

Westyn says Hello and Awesome build, he just loves that Mustang, The Bond build i had to tell him who he is all about, soon as i sad snap-Kit he was glued! Ma as always love the way you do your builds and vids. Now that plate exchanger is top shelf! Great Craft Mark and i will be seing you in the shop!!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Tell Westyn I said Hi. You two are going to love building one of these kits. Thanks again for everything.

[@martindaredare]

Turned out really smart mark , looks like this will be added to my shopping list .

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. It was a fun kit.

[@craigwest8386]

Got one in the stash. You motivated me to build it now.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. I'm glad to get you into it. Let me know what you think about it.

Very cool build, Mark.

Thank you.

Looks like a good little kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

[@richiek6379]

Hey it came out awesome for a snap kit Mark. Due to your talents I'm sure. I heard in your attitude and talking that you really wanted to do so much more. The montage was great, loved it! Thanks so much.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks. I did want to really dig into this one. I may have even made the ejection seat flying out with someone on it. LOL But I think if I can muster up the extra cash to do this one again I would make the machine guns flicker, the headlights light, and the radar light up too. Thanks again for all the kind words and for following along.

[@richiek6379]

@@grandpamarkshobbies Now all that sounds so cool...

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. I think it would be really fun.

[@Reds_Scrapyard]

That turned out great for a naked, OOB build. It looks to be a great addition to your Bond collection. I've been hanging out on Glen's channel too much, I look at it and I want to cut the hood open and shoehorn a blown big block into it. lol

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks. I think this may be the first naked build I've done in 40 years. LOL It does look good with the Mustang, but I'm really looking forward to making it digging into the white convertible. I know what you mean. I was so close to saying the heck with it all and running brake lines to the back and a fuel line to the front. LOL Didn't think about a blower though. That's funny.

Sweet build Mark. VW.

Thank you.

[@scaleffect]

Turned out awesome. Hoping Revell might eventually put out a non-007 version of this car, I don't think there are any other DB5s on the market.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Yes, I think that would be great too. I don't know of anyone who makes one anymore.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Super cool!! I like this!!!! Congrats on the almost 5k subs!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. It was a lot of fun to just put something together. Yes, very close now.

[@jameswornica803]

Awesome car . I'm putting this one on my list to get .😊

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you.

[@ModelCarMinion]

Great video, I like the Bond opening intro. Those snap kits are nice to work on but that one is very expensive up here in Canada.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you. I went to work an hour early so I could film that. It was fun. Yes, they are expensive, but I just had to try one.

[@geoffhipwell2198]

So cool. Looks great Mark. It's a top kit, it's got everything! Pity the rear shield hasn't got a little lever to 'push' it up. The kids'll have a ball. There'll probably be some 'breakage'? Afterall, our kits are only of fiddly little plastic pieces. Only elbow room left in the workshop! Yeah, the figurines look so cool surrounding the car. Well, you take care Mate, & see you next time.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. It would have been cool to have a lever to push that up. But you are right it would end up getting broken. Thanks again for following along.

[@nicholasbcleghorn8008]

Pet peeve of mine, it's Aston (ass-ton) Martin not Austin (Texas) Martin. Thanks for sharing.

You know I didn't know that. I will stop hillbillying it's name for now on. Thank you.

[@lancerevell5979]

I had that same ugly mold line on each door of my MPC Firebird T/A kit I'm working on now. Plastic is a gorgeous metallic blue, nearly like my real 1975 Firebird I had back in the day. I wanted to just wax and polish it, but nope. Those dark lines were too noticible. I painted it in Tamiya TS-54 Light Metallic Blue. I've never seen a kit molded in silver that didn't have those marks. 😢

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

It seems like every kit I've ever had that had color mold it had some goofy line in it.
