1936 Auto Union type C - KensRedZed - 16th-Jan-21

We have a pre-war class in our club. The Auto Union is quite popular. All the others are silver. It's funny to see 3-silver Auto Unions on the track at one time. A little swearing usually goes on as racers get confused between the cars.

That prompted me to once again go against the grain and be a little different. All the photos of these cars are black & white. They don't look black to be. That being said... Tamiya racing white looks really good to me.

The chassis was a bit of a challenge in that the guide was 2mm from the front axle. Part of the bearing support had to be removed for the guide to turn.

Driver's name is Wolfgang Weis (AKA Mr. White). Thank you very kindly for looking.

I envy you and many others on here who can take a pile of unrelated bits and pieces and create Wonder out of them.

Very nice indeed. Thumbup

RE: 1936 Auto Union type C - KensRedZed - 17th-Jan-21

Thank you very kindly gentlemen. You are both very kind.

Jeremy. I'm sure you have ideas you could try out. Kit bashing is fun. Start out with a cheap static kit and make it go.

Don't hesitate. It's never too late to be late. Thumbup

Very nice, Ken.
The colours and details work really well.

The AU type C was an early favourite of mine when I started casting and still have the mould somewhere in my pile.

An interesting and unique vintage racer, great stance. I'm sure it looks good on track.

RE: 1936 Auto Union type C - KensRedZed - 21st-Jan-21

I humbly thank you both, Munter and Bob.

John, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I get a few of your bodies and make them sparkle.
