In the mid-1960s, Revell's 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 200 introduced many modellers to the graceful lines of an aircraft Winston Churchill branded "the Scourge of the Atlantic". Four decades later, the same firm has blessed Condor fans with an all-new 1/72 Fw 200 C-5/C-8, followed by the C-4 variant, the subject of this article. In the box are seven large sprues, six light grey and one clear. Markings for a pair of KG 40 aircraft are provided, including one bearing the famous 'Ringed Globe'. Due to the kit's complexity and numerous options, a thorough pre-build study of the instructions' 59 stages is well advised. The project began with the well-detailed cockpit, radio area and mid-fuselage sections. A razor saw was used to separate more delicate parts as the sprue gates were rather thick. Prior to painting, mould seams and minor examples of flash were neatened, followed by the filling of ejector pin marks in the fuselage interior.
