James Bond Aston Martin DB5
This model is the 5th in my collection of James Bond vehicles.  It depicts the Aston Martin DB5 that first appeared in the
'Goldfinger' and 'Thunderball' movies, with Sean Connery.  An Aston Martin DB5 then made a number of cameo appearances,
mostly in the first two Daniel Craig films and one was finally destroyed in the 2011 film 'Skyfall'.

This is from a Japanese manufacturer, Doyusha and it is a simplified curbside model that has a number of inaccuracies.  On the
plus side, it comes with many of the features of the movie car - rotating license plates, weapons console, dasboard mounted radar
screen and tire slashers.
