It happened when they were only MONTHS old............... :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Well, this could lead to a very experimental "confetti camouflage"...  ;D

I'm calling it "Grease Stain" camouflage.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Is that a gun turret right at the tail? If so that gunner's going to get VERY lonely!  :o

It's an observation pimple.  I'm hoping I have a suitably sized clear dome.
This is an unarmed aircraft.

Nearly there.

Cowlings have engines inside them and props on the front.
Interior is in place (just the vey basic Airfix Fw189 interior - a seat, a stick and a cushion for the second crewman).
Crew are painted.
Flaps are partially painted (I have left the rivets on them as a reminder of how it was).
And I have started building the undercarriage.  Now I have never been that keen on the Condor's legs.  They always looked to me like they were half way through a slow collapse.  So i'll be trying to use the supplied parts to improve things.  Maybe put them on backwards or upside down or something.

Given the number of period photo's you see of Condor's where they are in a collapsed state on an airfield maybe they were ?
