Here is yet another nicely yellowed old sheet from ESCI. This one is for the FW-200 Condor, and back then, the only kit options was the rivet encrusted Revell kit. All of these are in a splinter camouflage pattern and while ESCI doesn't bother with minute things like upper camo pattern diagrams, you could get this from the Revell kit instructions. I'm sure they'd want you to believe that these were painted RLM 70/71/65, but since the Condor was a maritime aircraft, RLM 72/73/65 would be more appropriate. It wasn't until well after this sheet came out that Revell did a civil Condor, and that is what you'd need to do the second option.

First up is a KG 40 aircraft from 1940

Next is Hitler's personal transport, 26+00, the same codes he used on his Ju-52.

Himmler's personal plane was a standard bomber version with defensive armament.

Finally, a I./FKG 120 Condor when based in Norway in 1942.

Typical of ESCI sheets, you get some extra unit badges for use with other projects. These sheets are not difficult to find if you really want them, but in the vast majority of cases, they have been superseded by better ones.
