Model Forum / General / Models / November 2006Revell 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? Greg Reynolds, IPMS I suspect that it's the old moulds from the 1960s. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > I suspect that it's the old moulds from the 1960s. > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. 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. -- Stephen > > I suspect that it's the old moulds from the 1960s. > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > -- Stephen 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! Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. Does anyone have the civilian variant that they would care to part with?

Close, but no prize for that! I have two of those kits in my Deep Stash - both in very retro-looking boxes and both unlikely ever to be built.  SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. > I have two of those kits in my Deep Stash - both in very retro-looking boxes > and both unlikely ever to be built. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. 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.

I'm pretty sure you're the lucky recipient. :) Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> >> I have two of those kits in my Deep Stash - both in very retro-looking > boxes [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. it's in a box with some others i haven't got to yet. >> I have two of those kits in my Deep Stash - both in very >> retro-looking boxes and both unlikely ever to be built.

Brand new mold. http://www.revell.de/en/products/model_kits/model_kits/search_result/?id=203&KOK ANR=01&KOSCHL=&KGSCHL=&L=1&page=1&sort=0&nc=&searchactive=&q=04387&SWO=&ARMAS4=& KZSLPG=&offset=1&cmd=show&ARARTN=04387&sp=1 Martin Wow, who'd a thunk? RG certainly isn't the 'old' Revell. 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?
