1:18 Diecast advice

Hart008

Hey guys, would like some input as i know few of you here have collections of BOND cars diecast

I want to start a new collection for 1:18 scale Bond cars
Its basically for Christmas and its 3 Aston MArtins
The DB5, the DBS, and the DB 10 (obvious DC fan here haha)

My questions are for these scale 1:18 what are the best versions for the 3 vehicles above.

I am aware of JOYRIDE & Hotwheels only
But i look around and see that autoart has a DB5 which has much more detail than hotwheels
Would love input from you guys on which ones to get for the DB5 and DBS

DB 5 1:18 scale
DB S 1: 18 scale
DB10 1: 18 Scale ----Hotwheels (since its the only one available in that scale)
Hope to hear from you guys soon
Cheers guys

Re DBS in 1:18 you are pretty much limited to the Ertl CR version

DB10 IN 1:18 again limited to Hotwheels elite version

Now the db5, loads of options, Ertl is OK but Autoart offers finer details, there are loads of versions tho so look out for the one with mirrors and gadgets

Agree with 007JBDCMWR but also make sure the DB5 comes with the roof panel, some of the gadget Autoart models don't.

Ive never classed myself as a model collector, but I guess my Bond / Valentino Rossi / Aston collection qualifies me...

They do as the shelves sit on the vertical bars. OK for cars but slightly hairy for all my bikes

so for the DB5 & DBS which one do you have?

the iconic DB 5 is the goldfinger one but the hotwheels version seems not silver but more gold , would you guys say the one in SKYFALL is the GF version? or would i need to find a more silver one in terms of color
