After the first model was finished and was delivered to the customer I have decided to make my own copy. But now it will be a civilian version in red.

In contrast to the first version the second will be equipped with an engine. The engine from Auto Union Type C was choosen as a reference.

Great work on the CAD as well as on the action figure. Very interesting to watch the progress.

Another fantastic project from you Mikhail! Looking forward to seeing more progress.
Will you be painting Mr. Schmidt yourself?

:thumbsup:

Emil

Thank you! Regarding of painting of Mr.Schmidt I've not decided yet. Probably I will try to paint him by myself. So, since you are remembered this project I will show you a little progress on it. I have corrected posture of the figure. It become more straight. To achieve this the figure was placed in boiling water for half a minute and then was straightened by fingers.
