I'm trying to figure out how you cold POSSIBLY combine an Fw 200 with an Fw 189............  :-\ :o :unsure:
Tophe could!  ;D
Sorry: no, because a Fw-200 at 1/72 scale is a million times too big for my shelves :unsure: :-\ <_<

Digitally ?
I have worked/played in creating yesterday a Fw-200 vector slanting view following my usual angle, so the mix will be possible. <_<

Here is the raw basis before mixing:

The Fw-200 is itself a whif version with more glassware/view-posts (for recce missions) than in RW.

Hang on, it's got the SAME number of engines on each side!  :o
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! :)

Of course, asymmetry will come, but later... <_<
Here is the 389B opposite to A: basis 189 with parts from 200:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Thanks!

Here is a very rough sketch I downloaded from my imagination.
This one is inspired by Tophe and 63cpe in equal amounts.
Here is my interpretation of this mistery silhouette: :unsure: ;)

Hehehehehe LOVE it!  :wub:

It's also given me an idea for a build for this GB too.................  ;)

Thanks!

At https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=49445.15 zenrat's marvellous model is taking shape, and I must add a drawing for this "true" (built) one: <_<

The code Fw-389E is not confirmed at all, zenrat will decide for his model.

There's no stopping him now!

Tophe, maybe your mission in this GB is to draw up an asymmetric version of each physical model that's being built for the GB?

Thanks for this idea, while... creating a vector slanting view drawing is a long and hard work, I can do it once rather easily but not for everyone.
Anyway, as long as the Fw-389 is concerned, I can do easily the opposite: transforming zenrat's asymmetric marvel into a boring symmetric derivative, twin-fuselage of course: <_<

Tophe

As well, I may double (into symmetric derivatives) the asymmetric versions I imagined wrongly: <_<

Tophe

Talking about doubles, you know I prefer double-fuselages... <_<
