Bond Bug

My Airfix Vintage Classic 1:32 Scale 1971 Bond Bug is complete! 





This unusual scheme I’ve used was actually inspired by a recent visit to my local branch of Vision Express rather than a child’s doll! You weren’t expecting that, we you!

I hope the colour and polka dot design, with spectacled driver, will now make a little more sense. I intend this as a gift and a bit of fun for the team who, following a big mix up over scale modelling vision requirements resulted in 2 new sets of glasses having to be reworked, looked after me so well.


The Vallejo Squid Pink paint chart looked so much closer to the Vision Express corporate dark pink than the Barbie tone I’ve ended up with, but considering the current euphoria for the film of the same name, I feel this bubble gum pink works equally well should one want to ignore the original intention.
