Airfix Aston Martin DB5 Starter Set

Cool!

As a kid growing up in Canada, we never saw them on the street, so the Bond legacy imbued them with an almost mythical status...

As a build, sure seems you've got the knack!

Nice job.

Thanks all that's very useful to know.

I think for now I'll stick with the brush - which will also keep my wife happy!

In terms of gluing, I've been following the airfix advice of using a small piece of the box as an applicator for the humbrol poly cement . However, I've seen some videos with people using the Tamiya extra thin cement. Is there any basis to different types of glue or is it not personal preference?

I use ema plastic weld for almost everything.
I love it.
But I also humbrol clear and bostik super glue.
Different stuff for different tasks.
