That's lovely (and what the aircraft was actually about!), very nice.  :thumbsup:

Deserves a Whiffie nomination, IMHO.

Thanks Tom.  That's a lot of sanding removing all those rivets.

Very neat and pretty. I have always loved the FW 200.
If it's the VERY old Revell kit, you had to redo the landing gear completely. It had the twin wheels of the later Luftwaffe version. (I had done one civil FW 200 about 40 years ago)

But in 1941 The Netherlands were occupied by Nazi-Germany since 1940. Was KLM still active then?

In my world (at least in this particular one ;)) the Netherlands was allowed to stay neutral and the KLM flew with a mix of German and US aircraft.

How did I miss this one?  Well nice and suits those markings.

That's the 1990s tooling of the Civil Condor, although the later military transport boxing has better plastic that's less prone to warping.
