Some years ago Norev did a nice model of the DKW F93 (3=6) in several colors. Here are two, a maroon one and a blue one like the one in the June 2022 issue of Collectible AUTOMOBILE. I remember as a kid those brief years when the DKW was imported to the US. Eventually the Audi would follow with the four rings as a decendent of the DKW. That DKW was a nice little car.

Here's a 1961 version, with the Auto Union rings, at the Lane Museum.

And in ‘61 it would have a wrap around windshield. I think Norev did a model of it. I wish I’d acquired one as these are very rare.

Here's a 1951 DKW Meisterklasse Universal (= wagon) by Neo
I remember a grocer in my parents' neighborhood who drove a car like this in the early 60s when I went to elementary school.
The car was rather inconspicuous gray-green with wood trim; I don't think the DKW was available with metallic paint in 1951. Sorry, Neo.
By the way, at that time it was a common joke to make "meisterklasse" (= masterclass) into "kleistermasse" (=paste).

David; Your post reminded me that I had neglected to get the early 1950s DKW coupe, which I managed to do today. It is a Schuco in red; a nice little model IMO. It will look great displayed beside the Woody wagon by NEO discussed earlier.
The others here are by Salvat; an Auto Union 1962 1000S wagon and 1960 sedan....which I bought in January. Inexpensive but decent quality for the money. The pics are from ebay.

I have one in blue, I learned to drive in one my dad owned back in the early 60s. I also took my driver's license exam in it. My sister and I called it the DumKoffWagon.
My blue wagon is part of my Alaska Railroad train.

I found this DKW Vemag in a newsstand kiosk in 2014 in Peru! It was a part works for at least Brazil, Peru, and Chile. Looks slightly larger than 1/43... a great little souvenir.
