Focke-Wulf Fw 200 C-5/C-8 Condor, 1/72 - Revell 03777

The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 C-5/C-8 Condor model kit by Revell, reference 03777, reproduced at 1/72, depicts one of the major German maritime reconnaissance and bombing aircraft used during World War II. This plastic kit lets you build the C-5 or C-8 versions of the Condor quad-engine aircraft.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor

The Fw 200 was originally designed as a long-range civil transport aircraft in the late 1930s. Its airframe was later adapted for military roles, including long-range reconnaissance and missions against maritime targets. With its four engines and streamlined silhouette, the Condor is a particularly striking subject for a collection dedicated to World War II aviation.

The C-5 and C-8 versions belong to the Fw 200’s military evolution. They illustrate the use of the Condor as a long-range maritime patrol aircraft—a role for which its high autonomy was a major advantage.

The Revell 1/72 model

This Revell reproduction consists of 240 parts and reaches an assembled length of 280 mm. The 1/72 scale reduces each dimension of the real aircraft by a factor of 72 while still providing a strong presence in a display case or in an aviation diorama.

The kit includes detailed components such as engine cowlings reproduced with surface reliefs, clear parts for the bomb bay, as well as two guided bombs Hs 293. A decal sheet is included to build different versions of the Fw 200 C-5/C-8.

Assembly and finishing

Assembling a quad-engine aircraft in 1/72 requires careful preparation of the parts and close attention to aligning the wings, tailplanes and engine nacelles. A dry fit of the main subassemblies helps you check their position before gluing.

Transparent parts should be carefully prepared before painting. Applying a primer suited to plastic model kits helps reveal any seams that need correcting and improves paint adhesion. Applying decals onto a smooth surface helps achieve even markings.
