This is the last of the Revival kits in my stash. I was told this was one of their easier kits. After doing almost all of their line I was ready for something easy. Shouold have known better. It was anything but. The results are nice but getting there is an engineering challenge. this one is the Auto Union Type C , 16 cylinder rear engine car Bernd Rosemeyer drove in 1936/37. Kit features all metal construction with screws, real wire wheels and working steering and suspension. Once done there is a certain amount of satisfaction. More info in the picture captions. Thanks for looking and comments welcome. Gotta take a picture of the chassis as it is a model all by itself. This is a mock up because the reas suspension had to be removed to get the body on. And suffice to say after all the fit problem and two days of swear words, it was not coming back off. Fitted body in the background. Engine cover and front cover are removable and fit fairly well...about the only thing that did. Front suspension looks a lot like VW. Getting it assembled and getting it to work was something else. This si where all that effort pays off...aaaahh..the finished car. There are 16 of those tiny tubes that fit on top of the exhaust headers. Getting them all to line up......Engine cover fits better than in the photo. This side view. There was lots of plumbing under the front engine cover. This is where the radiators and expansion tank are located. All of them had to be bent just so. Interior turned out nice. Thanks again for looking.
