1938 Auto Union Type D - Matchbox

This is the old Matchbox kit with a bit of TLC, the wheels were re-strung with lead wire, seat padding made from milliput, front grille was sanded back then masked and sprayed. Zero Mica Silver and Clear coat used for the paintwork.

Markings are the kit decals, driven by Tazio Nuvolari.
