#19 ASTON MARTIN RACING CAR

Post by artherfonz »

Hi All ,
I have just received my second #19 ASTON MARTIN RACING CAR, when doing a comparison I noticed one had a poorly cast steering wheel which had been painted black, the steering Colum is also black. There is black paint splatter on the firewall and dash areas. There is no splatter on the floor pans or any of the green painted areas which I assume there would be if the steering was painted post factory. I have not tried to remove the steering for closer exam as I don't know how they are attached and don't want to risk damaging the model. I am interested in your thoughts. cheers Steven

HI Steven,
I love these old open wheeled racers! My bet is the black was added to the wheel after it left the factory.
