Re: FW 200 Condor floatplane

Hi, Vic...

I believe this is a definitely a product of someone's imagination... . It's the (very!) old, original Revell Fw200 kit in 1/72 scale from way back when I was a boy, with rivets the scale size of apples to boot...!

It has been fitted out with floats from somewhere, spurious markings for LG2 and dodgy-looking two-bladed propellors. Wing joints seem rather good, though... a bit of effort gone into it, certainly.

I don't think it ever entered the collective mind of Focke-Wulf's design team to bring this beast into being. As Stig said, it would require a strong airframe and that's one thing the Condor was plagued with... breaking its back, usually on landing. Interesting project, though.

Regards,

Paul
