Would it be possible to convert Trumpeter’s Fw 200 C-4 version?

Saw a guy trying that some years ago. It wasn't a surgery, it was a sloughterhouse. It never got finished.
So for my personal skills it's impossible.

Copy that. A pity. I put nothing past your skills, however it is time that would be the most demanding taskmaster, should there be modifications.

The Condor is a beauty. I have the Revell Germany...I think.

I also have the Revell Germany one in 1/72 scale. It's hanging on my ceiling now. I wouldn't mind getting another someday to make better since my current one is rife with seam lines and poor paint work.

Duke!

When anything I draw is published, I will make sure you have a free copy. I will be over the moon if this gets past the gate. As far as my portfolio goes I plan to upload the majority to Art Station by June 1. That will be free viewing as well. I am going to add a Fw design to that, although it will most likely be this subject:

Cool. I would love to display aircraft from the ceiling and I am sure your work is outstanding!

I've looked at doing the conversion in 1/72 and the hard part is the wing. I think it could be done by cutting sections out and rejoining the rest.

Thank you so much for your reply, John, I sincerely appreciate your ideas for creating a civilian version of the Revell 1/72 Focke Wulfe Condor—I will be keeping what you suggested in mind! All the best.
