that they finally understood how wire wheels work.

All the earlier DBs by AA had abysmal wheels that killed the models, and the proto of this DB5 again showed stick-on hubcap-like flat looking rims.
Until now, they fixed it.
Thumbs up!

Otherwise, it's plastic of course, while AA is a plastic model company now... for years.

Besides, the Bond car looks great but personally I don't care for this, and I am so bored with clicheed DB5s in silver.
