Auto Union Type C: Complete (#26 for 2020)

Another one for 2020. Started in 2016 and shelved in 2018, this is a challenging resin kit requiring lots of testing, filing, fabrication, and interpretation. But it was worth it given the historical importance of the car. 

 

A brutal shape meant to cover the 6 litre supercharged V16. Being parked up front like this must have been a very different driving experience.

Exhaust manifolds need to be reviewed as I cut one side down a little too much. A lot of this was trial and error.


Small, medium, large: The smallest (Miller 91) features the highest power per litre rating, the largest (Renault 40 NM Record) the worst. All three were challenging resin builds. 

 
 What's next? Hard to say! The Shelf of Doom only has a few more kits on it. Stay tuned.

  1. Hello and thank you VERY much for posting your rather awesome work! I've been using yours as reference for my Miller 91 from HRM and find that without them, I could not build this kit period! It has fantastical engineering and quality but craptastical instructions. At any rate your indeed a saint!

    1. So glad someone is reading! I see the statistics every month (a few hundred to a thousand reads) but with no idea who everyone is. Keep building!
