Trumpeter 01639 - FW200 C-8 Condor 1/72 Kit Summary

The Trumpeter 1/72 FW200 C-8 Condor model brings a notable WWII maritime aircraft into the workshop. With its emphasis on accurate proportions and surface details, the Condor kit offers a compact but historically minded project for modellers who enjoy period aircraft.

Role and Authenticity

The FW200 C-8 Condor was used for long-range reconnaissance and patrol missions by the Luftwaffe. This kit reproduces the aircrafts defining features and is scaled to 1:72 so it balances display presence with manageable assembly complexity.

Build Considerations

Expect a typical Trumpeter level of detail that rewards careful assembly. Particular attention during construction pays off around the cockpit interior and landing gear areas to ensure accurate alignment and a neat finish.

Suitability for Display

Finished, the Condor is a fine addition to any WWII aviation lineup. Its 1/72 footprint makes it easy to include in a scene or display case with other scale aircraft.

Specifications

  • 1:72 scale
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for finishing
The Condor can be tackled over a few weekends if you set aside time for careful fitting and painting, especially around small cockpit and gear parts.
The instruction sheet includes painting suggestions and placement guides for the supplied decals to help achieve period correct finishes.
The kit is complete out of the box for a standard build; optional aftermarket detail sets are available but not necessary to produce a convincing model.
Painting and weathering depend on technique, but allow several sessions for base coats, decals, and light weathering to get a balanced, realistic finish.
