JWM Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Hi, This is a kit, which I made for the first time as young teenager, perhaps when I was 13, so about 42 years ago. It was then made from the old mould of Fw-200 C3 by Revell. About year 2000 I was not able to tolerate any longer on my shelf its awful look.... So I dismounted it into pieces, washed with NaOH removing all paints and I made it againg. I decided to meke it a bit more attractive by converting model into C-2 variant with no turret on front top of fuselage. The another difference is in exhausts. This was a scratch work. The markings are from I/KG40, Bordeaux 1940-41, RLM 72/73/65. I hope you can tolerate it now.... Comments welcomed Regards Jerzy-Wojtek Edited July 29, 2017 by JWM Switch to Flickr 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Fantastic Jerzy, I've the new Revel kit & would be so pleased if it comes up to your old one in skill. That is super workmanship, Anything that shows off the ring around the world unit symbol of 1/KG.40 is a favourite too. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks for not making me feel even worse about my teenage building skills Thanks Mitch and do not worry . BTW - I have still on shelf some my true early builds, lets say when I was 14-16 years old and one is Mc 200 from Revell . But I think that I will not post it rather... Many thanks also Pat for your comment Cheers JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Beautiful restoration. I always enjoy being able to "save" my earlier kits too. She would have made a awesome airliner. Cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Amazing what a complete make over can achieve! How did you "break it" into pieces? Just a good old saw? Brilliant work, again. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 How did you "break it" into pieces? Just a good old saw? Thank you Jean for nice comment. Actually I used a sharp knife to make small cut for example between wing and fuselage or between halves of fuselage. When I cut it partially I put another (big) knife to make the slit longer not by cutting but rather as lever, but sometimes just brutal force to take a part apart - like in case of engines:) Fortunately it was glued as bad painted Cheers and Marry Christmas to all Jerzy-Wojtek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
