What Airfix gives you is too far removed from the complexity of the real thing so I added as best as I could. Still simpler but especially the hydraulic lines are very complicated.

Fw 200C-4 displayed at the HistoramaWereld Museum. Transparent top of front upper gun turret was missing and replaced with a homemade part. Not perfect but I did my best and it will have to do. In most pictures the turret is blanked off. Only visible in picture 2, in the museum.

congratulations, on getting a fantastic result, and on getting your model in a museum

Thank you.

A couple of Horsas. They are tail-sitters as I didn't add a nose weight because they will be shown flying in above a 1:35 Market Garden diorama (not mine) at the museum (HistoramaWereld at Best, the Netherlands). The 1:72 scale will give a (false) perspective of them being further away.
Creating the figures was a dreadful job. The kit figures are quite unsuitable as pilots in flight so a lot of plastic butchery was needed.
The cockpit canopy was painted in two stages.

Watching this one. Have this one in the stash along with a wing fold so interested in this build.
