Saw the car on YT last night. It is simply amazing !!
Sure you can of course nitpick ... however this is 21st Century techniques being used in model making 👍👍
IMO this is the 1st 1:8 model (apart from Amalgam) that looks identical to a DB5 the proportions are just spot on.
A superb effort.
10/10 Agora techs 👏👏👏👏

Totally agree Chips.
Agora have nailed the proportions (see the attached photo showing the DB5 M134's from a slightly better angle below)
SHOUT OUT TO AGORA
Some of you may followed my criticisms of Agora's communication (via the Forum) on the DB5's design and development.
On Sunday a comprehensive email from Agora was received (sent to all Agora subscribers)
The added complexity of integrating the M134's and Agoras determination to "make them work" is fantastic 👊
Thankyou Agora👏👏 my sincere thanks....
Sam,
Yep they emailed me......24 Jul 2023 11:58 BST
Hello Andrew, thank you for getting in touch. Someone will be in touch with you soon.
Thank you,
Customer Service Team
Thats been it..
Thankyou Doctor👍
1. I was feeling like I was the only one here......
2. Agora are conspicuously ignoring my emails I have sent to both Mark and General Lou 😳
3. I dont care per se its more how is Agora communicating to potential customers???
4. You can pre-order in July Agora said.......mmmm... how.. where...when (I see no links)
5. The idea of the Agora forum was to promote and exchange information on the 007 model range and its design and development....
6. I dont see much (see below) evidence of this...
PS: YOUTUBE DB5 RELEASE
Anyway I think it may be just a revamped Eaglemoss with new wheels and tyres on it ...
Agora we will never know because all we have seen is an 18 sec Youtube clip 🙄
Cheers
Andrew
See the new Aston Martin DB5 release vid here...
it was posted 6 days ago...
I dont think given its design is entirely new and based on a digitally scanned original vehicle (unlike the Eagle Moss) there will be little parts commonality
OK
so the lack of any news on the DB5 is very disapointing.
pre order from Jul the website says.....
its now 12 Jul and no news apart from scans taken??
Hi Guys
you are leaving no stone unturned here 10/10.
I just saw the scanned front end of the DB5 and I'm just concerned the front headlights are still too small and recessed too far back (from the scan)
The photo of the DB5 below you can see they are actually quite large headlights and quite prominent
just my 2 cents here
thankyou
Andrew
Hi Guys
I’m just the messenger on this one.
So with some fanfare earlier this year Agora announced it will be creating the 007 Bond car range……that is a lot of cars (I realise) the DB5 in particular won’t be a rebadged EM 👏👏 but…… what’s happening??????
In my opinion you are giving yourself a PR headache by keeping everyone in the dark
