uild one of the most famous cars in cinema history – complete with the gadgets that made Q Branch proud.

The Revell James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (Click System) 1:24 Model Kit recreates 007’s legendary silver Aston Martin as it appeared in the classic 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.

Featuring 122 parts, a beginner-friendly Click System, rotating wheels and a selection of Bond’s famous hidden gadgets, this is much more than a standard Aston Martin model. Revell has designed the kit so that the components securely click together without requiring glue, making it accessible to newcomers while still providing an impressive project for experienced modellers and James Bond collectors.

The Most Famous Aston Martin of Them All

There are Aston Martins.

And then there’s James Bond’s DB5.

Introduced as 007’s car in Goldfinger, the Aston Martin DB5 quickly became one of the defining vehicles of the entire James Bond franchise.

The elegant British grand tourer was already something special.

Then Q Branch got hold of it.

Suddenly the beautifully styled DB5 was hiding machine guns, defensive armour and interchangeable number plates.

Probably not included on the standard Aston Martin options list.

Based on Goldfinger

Revell’s model specifically recreates the DB5 from Goldfinger, the film that established the car as a genuine cinema icon.

Released in 1964 and starring Sean Connery as James Bond, Goldfinger introduced audiences to a version of the DB5 equipped with an extraordinary collection of gadgets.

The combination of elegant styling and completely ridiculous secret-agent hardware worked perfectly.

More than sixty years later, the DB5 remains inseparable from the image of James Bond.

Detailed 1:24 Scale

Revell recreates the DB5 in popular 1:24 scale, giving the finished model enough size to show off the car’s elegant bodywork, interior and special equipment without requiring a huge amount of display space.

The finished model measures approximately 206mm in length, giving it a substantial presence alongside other 1:24 automotive models.

It’s an excellent scale for displaying the car on its own or as part of a larger collection of classic, film or motorsport vehicles.

122-Part Model Kit

Despite its beginner-friendly construction method, this isn’t an ultra-basic toy-like representation.

The DB5 consists of 122 individual parts, providing a proper model-building experience while retaining the simplicity of Revell’s Click System.

That combination makes the kit particularly interesting.

Beginners can achieve a good-looking result without immediately having to learn traditional glue-based model construction.

Experienced builders can take advantage of the detailed base kit and add additional painting and finishing work.

Revell Click System – No Glue Required

The major difference between this DB5 and a conventional Revell automotive kit is the Click System.

Precisely manufactured components are designed to fit securely together using plug-in connections, meaning no model glue is required for assembly.

That makes the DB5 ideal for:

First-time model builders.

Younger builders moving into more detailed kits.

James Bond fans who aren’t experienced modellers.

Experienced builders looking for a relaxing project.

And Gunpla builders who are already looking at the words “no glue required” and thinking:

Now you’re speaking my language.

Multicoloured Components

The kit uses multicoloured plastic components, allowing a convincing representation of the DB5 to be assembled without requiring every single component to be painted.

That’s particularly useful for beginners.

Build it straight from the box and you’ve got a recognisable display model.

But painting remains an option for builders who want to take things further.

Detail the interior.

Enhance the trim.

Pick out smaller mechanical components.

Add subtle shading.

Improve the finish of the bodywork.

The Click System makes construction easier without preventing you from treating the DB5 as a serious modelling project.

Stickers or Waterslide Decals

Revell provides both stickers and decals, giving builders a choice in how they finish their DB5.

Beginners can use the stickers for a straightforward build.

More experienced modellers can use the decals for a more traditional scale-model finish.

It’s another feature that allows the kit to grow with the builder rather than limiting it strictly to either the beginner or experienced market.

And Now for the Important Part – The Gadgets

A James Bond DB5 without gadgets would just be an extremely nice Aston Martin.

Fortunately, Revell hasn’t forgotten Q Branch.

The model includes recreations of several of the special modifications that made the Goldfinger DB5 legendary.

And this is where the kit becomes considerably more entertaining than your average 1:24 classic car.

Hidden Machine Guns

Yes.

Machine guns.

The DB5’s famous concealed weapons are represented on the model, recreating one of the best-known modifications fitted to Bond’s car.

From the outside, elegant British grand tourer.

Until someone presses the wrong button.

Then things become considerably less civilised.

Bulletproof Rear Screen

The model also recreates the DB5’s bulletproof armoured rear screen.

On Bond’s car, the protective shield could be deployed behind the rear window when someone was inconsiderate enough to start shooting at him.

Revell allows this iconic gadget to become part of the model rather than simply moulding the DB5 as a completely standard road car.

Interchangeable Number Plates

Another classic Bond feature is represented through the interchangeable number plates.

The rotating plates became one of the most memorable pieces of equipment fitted to the DB5.

Because apparently having machine guns hidden behind the front lights wasn’t enough.

Sometimes you also need to change your registration number very quickly.

Rotating Wheels

The finished model features rotating wheels, adding a little extra functionality to the completed DB5.

For younger builders, that adds some play value.

For collectors, it simply means the finished car feels a little more complete.

Although we strongly recommend resisting the temptation to send your carefully finished DB5 flying across the kitchen floor.

Classic DB5 Styling

Even without the Bond connection, the Aston Martin DB5 is one of Britain’s most recognisable classic cars.

Its long bonnet, elegant roofline, distinctive grille and beautifully proportioned body have made it an automotive design icon.

The 1:24 format gives Revell enough room to reproduce those characteristic lines while still keeping the finished model conveniently sized for display.

Add the famous silver finish and Bond equipment and the identity is unmistakable.

A Great Introduction to Car Modelling

Revell classifies the kit as Level 2 and recommends it for builders aged 10 and over.

That makes it an excellent introduction to automotive model building.

The Click System removes one of the biggest hurdles for newcomers: glue.

There’s less mess.

Less waiting for joints to set.

Less chance of accidentally covering half the windscreen in adhesive.

And significantly less explaining afterwards.

Instead, the emphasis is on enjoying the assembly and gradually seeing the DB5 take shape.

Plenty of Potential for Experienced Modellers

Easy assembly doesn’t mean experienced modellers have to leave everything exactly as it comes from the box.

Far from it.

The 122-part construction provides an excellent starting point for additional detailing.

Carefully painted interior trim can add depth.

Metallic detailing can enhance the brightwork.

Subtle washes can bring out mechanical areas.

A polished body finish can transform the overall appearance.

The result can be anything from an enjoyable straight build to a highly finished 1:24 display model.

Perfect for James Bond Collectors

Not every James Bond fan is a traditional model builder.

That’s exactly why the Click System works so well for this subject.

You don’t need years of scale-modelling experience to put a DB5 on your shelf.

The combination of multicoloured components, glue-free construction, stickers and optional decals makes the model accessible while still delivering a proper build rather than a ready-made die-cast car.

You actually get to build Bond’s Aston Martin yourself.

More Than Just a Car Model

That’s arguably the biggest attraction of this particular DB5.

You’re not simply building a classic Aston Martin.

You’re building a piece of film history.

The silver bodywork.

The hidden machine guns.

The armoured screen.

The interchangeable number plates.

Everything immediately points towards 007.

Put the completed model on a shelf and you don’t need a label underneath explaining what it is.

Bond fans will know.

Ideal for Gunpla Builders Looking for Something Different

If you’re used to building Gunpla, the Revell Click System makes this a particularly accessible way to try automotive modelling.

The basic concept is familiar.

Parts come together without glue.

You can build it straight from the box.

Or you can spend considerably longer painting and detailing everything.

The major difference is that instead of ending up with a Mobile Suit carrying a Beam Rifle, you end up with an Aston Martin carrying hidden machine guns.

So really, you’re not moving that far away from heavily armed machinery.

A Great Gift for Bond Fans

The DB5 also makes an excellent gift for someone who loves James Bond but hasn’t previously considered building a model kit.

There’s no need to immediately buy specialist adhesives or have extensive modelling experience.

Open the box.

Follow the step-by-step instructions.

Click the components together.

Add the markings.

And gradually one of cinema’s most recognisable cars appears on the desk.
