Daniel KlinkThis will be the german part of the Marine Observation plane saga!
The F8 + BW flown by E. Daser who scored a big Tally of ships over british waters.

CuajeteI also need a seat!
I'm still wondering if Trumpeter's tool or Revell's is better 🤔

Daniel KlinkHi Mates and welcome to the Condor project! Really nice that those sea Patrol projects are well visited 👍

Łukasz GlińskiLiterally great kit, following.
Looks like it's a Condor summer here on SCM. 😉

Daniel KlinkWelcome roberto!
Hope this will be as smooth to built as rhe Wimpy by Trumpeter!

Daniel KlinkReady, Steady, go 🙂 phew that is a lot of stuff again...
Hm Pic 1 or Pic 3 as scenario for the Dio?
12 December 2023, 17:21
Daniel KlinkOk, lets see if it is number three... 🙂
Btw fit is great but all the interior is hidden afterwards as presumed.
15 December 2023, 17:22
Daniel KlinkOk kets see which one will do it to the Dio.
The kit fits like a charme btw. Despite of some engravement failures by Trumpeter it is a good kit!

Christoph SchnarrA great new project Daniel. As far as I know, Daser's Condor is not an Fw 200 C-3, but a C-2. The C-2 had different BMW 132H engines, while the Fw 200 C-3 and later were powered by Bramo 323 Fafnir engines. Externally recognisable by the different shape of the engine cowlings. This can also be clearly seen in the two original photos (pictures 2 and 4) at the beginning of your article.

Daniel KlinkWelcome Nicolas, Christoph and Mattes 👍
@Christoph. SO I have to look for 4 engine cowlings like those for the He 115?
18 December 2023, 17:51
Christoph Schnarr@Daniel. I don't think the ones from the He 115 would fit properly either. The cowlings of the civilian Fw 200 from Revell would be more likely, but they would have to be somewhat longer and also have an elongated bump on their undersides and a different exhaust system.

Daniel KlinkVery interesting pic 1 you have both versions on one plane the outer backbord engine looks a lot like the early hood style her in pic 2

Daniel KlinkFurthermore this book says that Dasers Machine was one of the first batch of C-2 with No0016 and had been named "Neptun".

Michael KohlIt might get even a bit more complicated than that.

The cowlings of the civil version with the BMW 132-engine differ from the C3 in a lot of respects. The cowlings of the civil Revell kit (Fw-200A) do not fit to the firewall of the military kit. The lenght and diameter (?) of the engine nacelle from the wing to the fire wall differs considerably between the A and the C3-version. Shape is different too. Unfortunately I do not have documents of the C2-version. So I do not know exactly how close or far away it is from the C3.
Right now I am civilizing the beautiful new C5/8-kit from Revell and have quite some problems to get the engines back to A-Standard.
Good luck. I am much interested in your further insights. I would be happy if you share it.

Daniel KlinkHi Michael, thank you very much for your feedback and !information!
In my opinion the cowlings of the C-3 are easier to convert into C2 shape! The length is quite ok!
19 December 2023, 14:43
Daniel KlinkHm what do you think about the cowlings of the Ju 86E-2 or the Do 17P They had the BMW 132N? bulit in as far as i know. But they look a bit too short.

Daniel KlinkYes, time is also acurrency mate! I chose the Version with the RLM22 undersurface from 4. KG 40 at Aalborg 1941, later used as ground supply at Demjansk pocket.

CuajeteWell done so far, Daniel. I'm sure any of the versions you make will ultimately have a fabulous result.
