If you've never seen or built a Revival kit, here's some pics I took of the 1937 Auto Union Type C V16 Streamliner during assembly and test fitting. These multimedia kits are a combination of diecast, white metal, brass and copper with a few plastic and rubber parts. I took these pics primarily, as seen in the second photo, the most daunting aspect of the initial build was the rear suspension and the picture was meant to help me if I had to break it down and reassemble it. Not shown are the 4 wheel skirts which I hadn't tackled yet. If I remember right, the body was pre-painted but was too grainy so I painted over it.

Whoa, a very involved build but yielding terrific results.
