What if there are photographs or information about this part of the wing?
View attachment 805861
I don't think there will be any problems with the flaps. The rivets are clearly visible there
Do you have photos of the landing gear doors?I have already posted the images of the wing part. Similar to the elevators and rudder these were covered with the fabric glued and sewed to the matal structure. The seams were covered with the fabric strips additonally
here the two more with the view on the wing top and undersides.

These aren't flaps but ailerons ( элеро́н / элеро́ны ) . The Fw 200 had them divided into two parts ... the appearance of these parts is the same as the elevators and the rudder. These wre covered with the fabric that was glued and sewed to the matal skeleton. The protecting fabric strips on the seams.

Loved those exploded drawings!! Thanks!!
Do you have photos of the landing gear doors?
Here .... please note that wheel bay doors consisted of two parts per a side. At the inner sides of the front doors there was a rectangle dimple for the bottom part of the wheel/tyre. The front doors were closing automatically when the landing gear was extended fully.

And was the floor inside the plane covered with some kind of coating that covered the rivets?
The civilian Condors used by the Lufthansa and those used for the VIP transportation had the floor at the passenger areas covered with a kind of a black-greyish or just black covering. It can be noticed in the couple of B&W images I found via the net. The other sections of the fuselage where the passengers didn't walk and stayed , I mean the pilot cockpit for instance, the floor was painted with a kind of anti-slip coat.
Contrary to that the military varinats didn't have the covering. The floor was painted with either the ordinary matt paint ( possible the RLM 002 ) or the another one that could be considered to be the non-slip paint. What is more it can be noticed that the variants with the additional fuel tanks in the fuselage could have the wooden floor mats in the aisle making a kind of a pathway in the middle of the fuselage.

Do you know what colors the FW-200 was painted in?Yes it was. As you may notice in the first image below there was a kind of a flat metal ruff all around the panel. The fabric was glued to the one all around and also to the horizontal aerofoils. Then it was sewed on to the metal and the seams were covered with the fabric strips to protect the seams. So you need to add the fabric strips all around the panel like it is marked with the yellow colour.

Do you know what colors the FW-200 was painted in?
Do you know what kind of fuel was used in the FW-200?Depending on the service the military Fw 200 was painted either with RLM 72/73/65 colour set or the RLM 70/71/65 one. However the RLM 72/73/65 seems the main one.
Do you know what kind of fuel was used in the FW-200?
I had a suspicion that the fuel base was coal dust. By analogy with the Me-264

Nicely done.
Regarding the colours the top ones look more like the RLM 70/71. Actually it is quite difficult to find the correct tones of the colours using in the net. But these should be like these in the pic below. The RLM 72 and 73 were the naval variants of the land RLM 70/71 colours. The difference was the tone of the 72/73 that was more grey. In other words the RLM 72/73 were the greyish than the 70/71 paints.
На самом деле я не видел изображения, показывающего кайт полностью. Но, кажется, это Кондор.

For some reason, he illustrates it with victory notes. Do you know why? But they are not in the photo.
