Trumpeter 01639 - FW200 C-8 Condor 1/72 Model Overview

The Trumpeter 1/72 FW200 C-8 Condor offers a route to build a representative model of a prominent World War II maritime aircraft. With careful detailing and scale proportions, the kit aims to reproduce the Condors look for display and study.

Service Role and Model Accuracy

The FW200 C-8 was deployed for extended patrol and reconnaissance duties. This kit seeks to mirror the aircrafts profile and surface detail so modellers can present an accurate small scale rendition.

Workshop Advice

Trumpeter delivers precise parts but the build still benefits from steady hands and patience, particularly when assembling cockpit internals and the undercarriage. Dry-fitting parts before gluing helps ensure neat joins.

Collection and Presentation

Once built, the Condor is a compact yet informative addition to a World War II aircraft collection. Its 1/72 size allows it to sit comfortably alongside other period models on a shelf or in a display cabinet.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1:72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint - Required for finishing
The kit sits at an intermediate skill level. Builders with some prior model assembly experience will find it straightforward, while absolute beginners may find the small details challenging.
Use hobby-grade paints appropriate for plastic models and follow the instruction sheet for recommended schemes; finishing with a clear coat helps protect decals and paintwork.
At 1/72 scale the finished Condor occupies modest shelf space and will fit most standard display cabinets alongside other similarly scaled aircraft.
Apply decals to a smooth, gloss base coat and use decal setting solutions where needed; trim excess film and apply gently to avoid distortion.
