I think Tecnomodel should also release a Plain/Press version of the Aston Martin DB3S Spider, just like what they usually do with other sports racing cars. It will be a hit.
Their previous edition of the DB3S was very flawed, and I doubt they’ll correct anything. Adding to that… The Aston Martin DB3S was NEVER officially named or called a “Spider.” It was always simply a DB3S, except for 1954 when the factory team race cars, along with a few road cars were converted to Coupe’s and often referred to as such, but Never “Spider,” which is more of Italian nomenclature.
Excellent insight!
In my F1 1:18 collection I have a few Exotos, a small number of GP Replicas and numerous Minichamps, HOT wheels, Quartzo and Spark. I have just ordered my first Technomodel, the DeAngelis Lotus 91 from 1982, mainly because I just love the F1 cars fro. 1982 and 83. Can someone let me know what to expect in terms of detail, paint finish and detail. Where would you say Technomodel fit in comparison to the other manufacturers. Thanks, Colin.
There are pricy, higher than typical brands under the static resin types. Overall decent. Read the reviews here:
