1/48 Trumpeter Fw-200C-4 Condor


Recommended Posts

My take on the "Scourge of the Atlantic." Trumpeter's big bird finished last week. OOB except for the Nautilus wing spar (which the kit needs badly!), Eduard belts and some Verlinden brass machine gun ammo for the turret guns. I filled in the irregular trenches on the horizontal control surfaces and trimmed and sanded off the weird bumps on the rudder. It's big and it's finished! My 4th for the year. Thanks for looking!

The Fw 200 has always been one of my favourite aircraft, and you've done a bang-up job on this one!

 

You've managed to catch the elegance of the aircraft really well.

Nice job.  I have one in the stash and as the others have noted you don't see that many of them built.

 

Another thing is that there is almost no after market products.  I found and acquired some Peddinghaus decals but to be honest they don't look that fabulous to me though I've not tried them yet and probably won't!

Looks great. I had considered getting the Revell one in 1/72 but thought that might be too big for my shelves....

Fantastic!

Four engines in 1/48th is a bit big for me, but I certainly can't fault any of your work.

The painting and weathering are superb.

:clap:

I agree with all the previous comments. I'd love to do this one, but the storage space and my work-area says no.
