This is clearly a model of the 1:43 Eaglemoss collection! So we will get our long-awaited 1:43 DB10 after all! {[]
Great news, lj1989! Where are you located that you have got one already? Is this from the U.S. collection?

I found it at "polish ebay" - www.allegro.pl
It was a "lucky shot" at the browser. I can't even tell you how much I was happy at that moment! I will do some extra photos as soon as the package will arive!
OMG! This is Awesome! I hate to admit I was losing faith and haven't completed a Code 3 in a while, but this has inspired me to get some projects going again. I may not post anything until the Fall as Summer is just too much fun in Ontario and modeling is an indoor job.
It's great to see like minded people post messages here, it's a great group!
Just ordered my first DB10 from a site based in France
I wondered if this was a subscriber gift or if there would be a magazine. It's number 11 of the Italian collection. Is the 'Bond in Motion' collection still going in the UK or has it ended early?
The latest news about the DB10 has nudged me into posting a few more code 3's. I also visited Bond in Motion in Covent Garden a couple of days ago - really very good - and the Spectre cars are now on display so I've seen the real DB10 - beautiful!
I am sure this will have been asked before but the thread is 7000 posts long...!
...So can the cars be removed from their display boxes and displayed naked? (and played with?) If so is there a recommended technique for prising them loose? They seem to be stuck down pretty good.
The diorama boxes are kind of nice but I like to be able to touch models.
Just bought a set of 30 cars from the series. I am not really interested in whether keeping them unmolested is good for collectability or value or whatever. Just wanna enjoy having (and touching!) the models...

Yes, the models are secured to the bases with usually just one screw, so they are fairly easy to remove from the bases.
Some of the later issues use a crosshead (philips) screw, but unfortunately most of the models use a tri-head screw which ideally requires a triangular screwdriver to loosen, but I was able to use a flathead screwdriver to do this until I got a triangular one.
Just note that the tri-head screw used has a smaller head than the more common "IXO" screw used in the past by that diecasting company to secure its models to their bases, so buying a so-called IXO screwdriver won't help. It's best to buy a set of tri-head screwdrivers that has multiple sizes.
So I guess I have to pull the base of the box off to access the screws?
Not at home right now so I can't investigate further but I don't remember any visible exposed screw heads when I looked at the models after unpacking them.

Hello
When you turn the base upside down the screws will be obvious and easily accessible. As FACT said you can easily obtain a set of triangular screw drivers and I'd suggest you do that rather than trying to prise them off.
You can use them as 'toys' - I've passed on some of the ones I didn't need to nephews and they've had some joy out of them BUT most models are just that - models, so lots of the parts attached to the main model is delicate and won't stand up to too many home made car chases
So they're not toys really but they are lovely models.
Hello to all,
And SWJ, congratulations as usual, many cars for Code3...my list is becoming very big ! )
On my side, I have made some progress...
So here my last models..
Hope to see more 'new' for the Italian collection, and also many code 3.
Please continue, it's a pleasure to see fans all arround the world.
Cheers.
So number 200 is coming ...
I also see that some of the Hot Wheels 1/18 are showing up as well.
They are showing at between £179 and £200, has anybody brought one, and are they worth this sort of money ??

I see there are 1/43 DB10s turning up on ebay - ~£30-35 incl p&p
I bought one a week ago. I'am not so satisfied with the Quality for the Price! The Hood of The Engine doesn't fit perfect.
But then... I've waited so long for this Model and there is nothing better on the Market in that size.
At least there is a nice Detail on the dashboard
Hy to all,
here some news of the 'Fan collection' James Bond car collection, of my personnal mag & models.
I reach the number 205 and wait for other code 3...and DB10 from Italia, but cheaper..
The new mag & model :
And the next mag, my vision of the model made on a previous done by MovieCarFan (again!)
Hope you like ... and hope the see some other news ...
Cheers.
Hello,
Here is the new 'Spectre' model, the fiat 500:
Hope you like it ! Waiting to see new models.
And the next mag & model will be :
Cheers.
Hi DDennis , sorry , but correct colour is "light" blue
Here's a photo that I took of the actual Fiat 500's used in SPECTRE that I took when walking through the park adjacent to Pinewood during the filming of said film:
Also saw some of the Land Rover's and the plane used in Austria, and the Alfa Romeo's that the DB10 smashes through. I can share the other photo's if anyone would be interested in seeing them, even though it's a bit off topic for this thread.

Please do! I'd like to compare my Alfa code 3 with the real thing!
Hello to all,
Thanks Q-Branch-NL, for the remark. In fact, my Fiat is very light blue, which seems white under a 'strong' light such as the Smartphone.
I have try to make with a other camera, but maybie my blue is 'too' light.....
Please post any pictures regarding cars on movie, planes... it's always very interesting and can give ideas.
Here is the last mag & model, based on an other fan....
Hi to all guys!
I am back to share with you my new addition to the JBCC...I worked on Two sets of models, one from Skyfall and the other from Spectre. Here the models of which they are composed by:
SKYFALL
- Jaguar XJ L with proper plates and with front grille emergency lights
- Range Rover series III (it was a nightmare to find this model in this colour) even the version of the movie is the restyling it looks quite the same
- Audi A5 pre restyling (the one of the movie)
- Aston Martin DB5 - the one of the collection ;-)
SPECTRE
- Aston Martin DB10 I love this model, officially a JBCC's one, the quality - as previously said - is very good and the lines, details and proportions are very good. The only flaw is the distance between the wheels of the same axis: they are too much inside the body of the car, so i have to work hard to put them in the right position giving the car a most aggressive image and shape
- Jaguar XJ R with the proper wheels and plates, made with a vanguards model with repainted interiors in black leather
- Toyota Hilux with the bull bar
- Range Rover Sport SVR, i realised the roof front spoiler with the led bar, i mounted two front headlights and the plates but i am not able to paint the wheels in black cause they are too beautiful in that way ;-)
- Land Rover Discovery Sport in Scotia Grey with plates from the movie
Now I have three models always from spectre on the way...but they are not ready yet... let me now some opinion or advises. I will post some pictures...
Cheers
P.S.
The Db10 is the 11th issue of the italian JBCC being now issued with a new name "James Bond Auto Collezione" and in France the model of the DB10 came out as the first issue of the collection (!! so at the promotional price!!) but i think the the collection is not being released now but it was a test...not sure about that.

Just ordered my first DB10 from a site based in France
Pic is from an ended ebay listing (http://www.ebay.com/itm/332232135240)
I've had a quick search this morning but can't find anything yet
The latest news about the DB10 has nudged me into posting a few more code 3's. I also visited Bond in Motion in Covent Garden a couple of days ago - really very good - and the Spectre cars are now on display so I've seen the real DB10 - beautiful!
Anyway - enjoy.......................
My own Spectre vehicles:
The original Casino Royale
The latest CR
Novels:
Comic strip
Computer games
Role playing games

Enjoy them however you wish my friend!
I see them now. They are the same colour as the base so did not notice them before.
I will try them on display outside the box for a while and maybe re-enact some great scenes complete with engine-vroom noises!
Just because I am 48 does not mean I am to old to play with toy cars.
Cool things are meant to be touched
