2008 Aston Martin DBR9 Gulf Le Mans conversion

Post by racingkars »

Converted the 1/24 Tamiya Aston Martin DBS by using a Carrera Digital body.
Of course asking for trouble.
I know it's a bit too high on it's rear wheels, but there was nothing i could do without risking the entire project.
So, not perfect, but i am happy with it.
Full detail WIP on my website.

Looks great! I built an Airfix version of this kit in 1/32 and never thought about doing the conversion you did.
