About This Item
Brand new 1/144 scale diecast model of the Focke-Wulf Fw 200C-4 Condor Aircraft, representing the German Luftwaffe, produced by Diecast of Defense. This model comes in a brand new box with true-to-scale exterior detailing, includes a display stand, and is presented in the manufacturer’s original unopened packaging. Constructed from diecast metal and plastic for durability and a realistic weight, it measures approximately Length- 6.5 inches and Wingspan- 9 inches, featuring realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface details for an authentic representation of the real aircraft. Originally developed as a long-range civilian airliner, the Fw 200C-4 was quickly adapted for military use during World War II, performing maritime reconnaissance, bombing, and anti-shipping roles. The strengthened C-4 variant included additional defensive armament and a bomb bay, making it highly effective in combat. Operating from bases in occupied France and Norway, units like KG 40 used the Condor to patrol the North Atlantic, locating Allied convoys and directing U-boat attacks, while also sinking or damaging merchant vessels, earning the nickname “the scourge of the Atlantic.” Despite growing vulnerability to Allied air superiority and long-range escort fighters, the Fw 200 remained in service for transport, maritime patrol, and liaison duties until late in the war. This 1:144 scale model captures the historic significance, markings, and imposing presence of the Fw 200C-4, making it an ideal collectible for enthusiasts of WWII aviation.
