Re: 1/24 Aston Martin DBS Volante
Phew, that's ambitious. To be truly accurate, you're going to have to create rear seats as the Volante has the 2+2 seating configuration as standard.
It would be nice if Tamiya follows up with the Volante version, but I'm not expecting it. |

Re: 1/24 Aston Martin DBS Volante
Yes, it is ambitious! Good luck with it. I figured somebody would do this conversion, won't be surprised if one of the Asian aftermarket companies does a conversion for those willing to shell out another $100 or so on top of the Tamiya kit
 .I'm lazy, hoping that Tamiya does it as a follow-up in a couple years  Looking forward to seeing more of this. It is a stunning looking car.

Re: 1/24 Aston Martin DBS Volante
Hobby Design indicated to me that they were thinking about doing a Volante version. They are releasing the optional 20-inch 10 spoke design wheels in June.

Re: 1/24 Aston Martin DBS Volante
