I bought this model and I really appreciated this vid. It really helped and I learned a lot of good techniques, such as dry brushing; using a first coat of paint as a primer and/or contrast undercoat; using a brush and multi-coats properly for a smooth finish).
Despite the terrible bad quality of this kit you still built a very nice model, congratulations. Of additional value is the fact that you used the acrylic paint provided in the box and just brushed it. Thanks for sharing the video. Keep doing the nice job.
Very nice. It's a shame the other clear windows don't click in place too as these are easy for a beginner to damage with glue. I would also suggest moving the decals with the cocktail stick not the knife.
Overall it's a decent kit, I'm building it at the moment, a little disappointed that Humbrol 129 Gull Grey was supplied for the bodywork, this is not even close to the proper colour as you can see at the end of the video, I get the fact that brush painting a metallic colour over such a big area would be problematic for a beginner but maybe a compromise would've been a slightly darker grey.
Nice build, but a few minor points.... The door handles and the small bar over the holes in the front wings should be painted silver, plus I'm surprised you didn't paint the rear lights and front indicators instead of leaving them body colour. There should also be two 'superleggera' stickers on each side of the bonnet but I'm guessing they would be too small to be included as decals. You were lucky the paint had only separated, a lot of times they have completely set leaving you with the only option of spending more money replacing them. Looking forward to watching another build ✈
Great work, showing us we can achieve results with minimal paint/tools. I really like these tutorials. 👍

Nicely explained and filmed. Thanks, I think I'll start mine next!

It's a nice looking kit but I do wonder why you didn't use silver paint to do the chrome door handles and other small parts.
Thanks Airfix for this Wonderful how to Video 👍🇬🇧

Fantastic video.
Nice kit
Very nice video. I wonder whether the black paint supplied in the box would be an acceptable wash if heavily thinned.
Fantastic work. I was screaming at the screen to clip the parts first and for the love of god PRIMER CAN. But for a basic build yeah cool bro
Very nice

Well just make the grey to your liking by adding a touch of black

Cool 👍
Can someone please explain why airfix recommend you use humbrol paints.
The fact that humbrol DON'T MAKE THE PAINTS THEY TELL USE.
They come in the starter kit.
I'd prefer a MK1 Bugeyed Austin Healey Sprite 🤗
Modelers - of aircraft and O scale railroads- would happily welcome a series of 48 scale “civilian” vehicles from Airfix.
Oddly more detailed than the 1-32 version.
The DB series was built FOR Aston Martin by Ford.
Just seen this silly comment. Ford didn't have a stake in AM until the late 80s. The DB 5 was built at AM Newport Pagnell.
