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

Brand new mold.

I suspect that it's the old moulds from the 1960s.

Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

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.

Wow, who'd a thunk? RG certainly isn't the 'old' Revell.

Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

Yep, I saw it at Telford last weekend - it's 100% brand spanking new and GORGEOUS!

Hey Chris. i it too, must admit it didnt float my boat but got lots of interest.

I have just been cleaning up some of the 76th metal figues i got on Sat, and some i bought last year...

i lost your email addy after a HD failure, but got it now.

Nice to meet you and put a face to the name, hell you knew what i looked like ;-)

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!

Does anyone have the civilian variant that they would care to part with?

Thanks for pointing me at the German photoetch bloke, the U-boat stuff is superb!

Cheers,

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!!

i think i have your last one. was it started?

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.

Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

Yep. I'm pretty sure you're the lucky recipient. :)

Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

nodnodnod That's the one.

it's in a box with some others i haven't got to yet.
