Revell Germany FW-200 C-8 - old or new?

I see that the RG FW-200 C-8 (1/72) has started shipping.
Does anyone KNOW if this is an all new tool?

Well... yeah.......
I've seen that page. It doesn't state one way or the other if it is a new mold. Clearly it AT LEAST has some new parts.
Revell Germany HAS previously reissued the old US Revell FW-200 C-4, so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.
Has anyone SEEN the C-8 in person?

I know that Revell released a civil Fw200, but I wasn't aware they had a military Fw200 before. I'd be thrilled to see a civil one to replace the old release (that I have on my shelf right now).
And who thinks of converting.... yikes; it would be a huge undertaking.

That old kit was the first time I'd actually seen what one looked like. I frequently ran across references to them in books on WWII but no one ever published a photo in same. IIRC, my first one was painted Testors' Tan and Pactra's Anti-glare Green over Testors' Flat Blue. Close, but no prize for that!

Yeah! Nice to see you too Jules - but then you've been on national TV here in the UK and I haven't!
Thanks for pointing me at the German photoetch bloke, the U-boat stuff is superb!
Cheers,
Chris

I have two of those kits in my Deep Stash - both in very retro-looking boxes and both unlikely ever to be built.

I liked the barrel i got, my first ever time with owt like that, should get around to using it in the next 10 years!!

Yeah, real art instead of a photo. I think I have the box art saved from my last one. IIRC, it's a 200 banking over a freighter in ice floes.
