I recently purchased a James Bond and Oddjob model kit (by Airfix) and I need to know what colour James' suit should be. I was thinking about a dark blue or gray, but I'd like to hear your suggestions first. Thanks.

Is it the kit from the Aston Martin car chase/wood/Tilly killed scene? If it is, then a very, very dark blue which is almost black, but not quite.
Speaking of this scene, has anyone seen the Johnny Lightning diaroma set of it? I saw it on eBay yesterday. I didn't know if it was worth getting or not.
Is it rare?

Here it is:

It's dark blue in this one. Do you think it's worth getting?
I don't know whether to get it, as I'm saving for a Special Edition Corgi Item that's in the works. Anymore news on that Blue Eyes?

No, it's not from the car chase. It's just a kit that has Bond holding a gun (not a Walther; like the ones used in FRWL) and Oddjob holding his hat. The kit is molded in gray. Both characters come in detachable bases that can fit together. I suspect it's the scene in Fort Knox, only Bond is holding a very weird-looking gun. I'll watch Goldfinger later this week to check. I'm also thinking of modifying Bond's gun to look more like his PPK.
