Completed: Auto Union '38
This is Revell's 1/32 kit. Detailing is good, but body panel fit is very very bad. Actually I can't put the bonnet on because engine don't allow to do this
 Sorry for some dark picture, couldn't make my camera out so far.Big Thanx to Jon MW for his help!  More pics here: http://public.fotki.com/TSK/auto_union/ Last edited by Vitalik; 06-30-2005 at 08:11 AM.

Very good work on this little kit!
How was it generally? I have the Porsche 917 Can/Am in my "to-do" and, having tried it years ago and found it wanting, I'm a bit dubious!

Great job!!
I built the same car years ago, but I didn't encounter any fitting problems... Odd...  In general, I think these old Matchbox kits are quite good. It's just a shame that the scale is a bit unusual... Here another picture of a Matchbox kit. This time the Tyrrell P34. The only disadvantage are the old decals (yellowed).

Re: Completed: Auto Union '38
Thanks, Sennake!
I don't know what was the problem. I want to belive that it's not my fault, because not only I have the same troubles... I had to make a choise: change the engine and show car only with hood on or (and finally I did that) put all covers near the model. I can't figure it out

Re: Completed: Auto Union '38
Photos are off line, any idea if they will they be back up again? Your Matchbox builds look great Guy. I have some weird memory of them kitting a CANAM Porsche 917/30.

I believe it was the 917/10, still a pretty hot can am car. I think that kit is at my local hobby shop, I bought the old matchbox martini 935 from there...

Re: Completed: Auto Union '38
Pics are working for me now. Looks fantastic!
 Yeah you are right Zurbert82, it was a 917/10. Confirmed by a quick Google search.
