Maisto. From 1994 the Audi Avus and a concept car called "Speedwagon" dedicated to a great driver Bernard Rosemeyer. Remember either of these?

The Audi is new to me but the Speedwagon is in my collection.

@bob-jackman I had to look that one up but it was worth it. Great story on Rosemeyer. I don't believe he was really a nazi, famous people had to play a lot of games politically just to survive. It was all about apperances kinda like today.

I always liked the Avus concept...the other one, though never really looked good to me.

I really like both of them. Bernard Rosemeyer was a very interesting character and yes, based on a few incidents, I don't believe that he was a Nazi.

@gavin Hey not everybody likes broccoli, after fingering it I found it much better done than the $39 price tag would lead you to believe. This one has been slightly lowered.

@randtheman After all these years it's finish has stayed shinny and one color. Better than the polished Cobra from Exoto!

@david-green When I look up a race car driver I am constantly amazed at their backgrounds and stories. That would be a good series for Motor Trend, all your favorite drivers in a half hour clip. I'll share the rights with you
