Camel Racing Aston DBR9

[TimJ]

I was wondering last year what if tobacco advertising in sport hadn't been banned so I picked up some decals at Telford and started work on one of my 1/32 Airfix Aston Martin DBR9s. Apart from the blue wheels the chassis is as per the instructions but the body has been painted Camel Yellow with a blue rear wing.





I'm hoping to have it finished some time this week.

Nice!

Gives me a (very) rough idea of how mine may look when I get to it.

Excellent stuff, more time warp cars. 

It really suits the Aston's shape too, an excellent idea.

[Captain Canada]

Beautiful. Looks superb in those colours. Not as good as Rossi's M1 but pretty close 

[Go4fun]

That is looking cool now. Is the driver J. Bond?

Looks great.
It's a very long time since I built a 1/32 car and they never looked as good as that.

[McColm]

Looks very good to me.

Thanks for the comments. 

The interior is finished as is the body. I painted the sunstrip on the windscreen and added the decal one letter at a time to get the required curve. There is a gluey fingermark on one of the side windows so I may replace it with one from another of my Astons. Either way it should be on the Airfix Modelling SIG stand at Huddersfield on Sunday.

Better and better.

Love it. I don't smoke myself but I miss some of the iconic liveries - this is beautiful. Maybe a Saleen S7-R in Marlboro colours next?

Reading the title, I was expecting a diorama of an ill-tempered, desert-dwelling one-or-two-humped quadruped running alongside a car....

Looks good!

I've never smoked either but like you say there were some iconic liveries around back in the day.

The Aston is now finished and has already been to a couple of shows.

Over here in 'The Colonies' we had our share of tobacco liveries and some great alcohol liveries too. And I'm not just talking NA$CAR either.
