Why you should buy the Aston Martin DB5 model kit

If you need to escape danger, do so in style. One scene showing the smoke screen, bullet shield, and other capabilities of the Aston Martin DB5 is hard to forget for the many fans of the series and the car. Now, with a shiny, gorgeous model from Revell, fans of Goldfinger can have their own Bond-styled Aston Martin DB5 at their fingertips, ready to reenact the beloved car’s favored features.

The completed model is 8.125 inches long, constructed from 122 parts in 1:24 scale. This kit includes everything you’ll need to make the Aston Martin DB5 look as if it comes right out of the Bond film, including tire slashes and the rotating license plate box in the rear of the car. Even the car’s interior is modeled correctly, with a steering wheel, shift stick, and dash that have a realistic sense to them. And, if all of the parts and small scale make you nervous, this isn’t the type of model car people used to have to deal with in the olden days. Instead of glue and cement, the Aston Martin DB5 model kit “clicks” together.

If this product interests you, you can get it now for just $40 via the link below. Don’t forget that you can also save $5 by signing up for Revell’s email newsletter, effectively making the model cost you just $35 and saving you 12.5% off the full price of the car.

Although Apple TV+ has a number of hits on its hands, Shrinking has proven to be one of the service's most successful shows over the course of its first two seasons. After the second season wrapped up in December of 2024, fans have been eagerly anticipating a third outing.

Unlike some shows that take years to return, it's now looking like Shrinking could be back before the end of the year after news broke that the third season has finished filming. In a video shared across Apple TV's various social media channels, we see Jason Segel and Harrison Ford addressing the show's cast and crew as production wraps.

After spending more than a decade in the world of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan is finally branching out into something new. The new series, which is coming from Apple, is called Pluribus and stars Rhea Seehorn, who also starred in Better Call Saul.

Now, we've got our first teaser for the new show, and it's just as baffling as you might expect. In the teaser, we see a woman licking every donut in a box of donuts, as well as a sign that says "Help yourself" along with a smiley face. The teaser is just 30 seconds long, and we don't see Seehorn or have any context for what the show is about.
