There may be a couple of reasons for that. There are the artist's artworks of planes that pics of can't be found. See below. Often these visions base on images of the other planes of the particular squadron that can be found. In the other hand the existed pics could be taken at the different time periods. Although showing the same aircraft these may differ from just with such details.
The artwork I found via the net ... shows the F8+AH Condor. Please notice that the underwing "A" letter is of the white while the one in the profile you posted above is of the black. What is more the victory marking on the fin is presented although it is of the different lauout if comparing to the one you posted. Additionally please pay your attenton to the plane nose tip with a kind of a name applied.

So these parts weren't painted? Is it pure metal?The Lufthansa ( DLH ) Condors were of the silver ( aluminium ) paint with the black elemants usually. The band on the tail with the swastika was of the red with the white disk.

Were these planes all metal or did they also have fabric covering on the wings and tail?Judging by all images of the civilian Condors it wasn't of the pure metal but it was overlaid with the aluminium paint . If it would be of the natural metal finish there would be noticed the plates of the aircraft covering and the rivet lines.

Yes. The planes were all metal and they had the fabric covered parts on the wings and tail. The nose cone was of the wood.

This is what I got
By the way, Wurger. Do you know the history of this B-ACON aircraft?
She was the prototype Condor, designated Fw 200 V1, Werk-Nr. 2000. It had first flown at Neulander Feld, site of the Focke-Wulf plant in Bremen, Germany, 27 July 1937. The test pilot was Kurt Waldemar Tank, an aeronautical engineer and the airplane's designer. On 10–11 August 1938 made a Berlin–New York transatlantic flight. The D-ACON, flew from Berlin, Germany, to Tokyo, Japan, to demonstrate the long-distance capabilities of the new civil airliner on 28–30 November 1938. On 6 December 1938, while on approach to Manila, capital city of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, all four of D-ACON's engines stopped. Unable to reach the airfield, the Condor was ditched in Manila Bay. All aboard were quickly rescued. The cause of the engines failing was fuel starvation. One source states that the crew had selected the wrong tanks. Another source says that a fuel line had broken. A third cites a fuel pump failure. The wreck of the first Condor was recovered, however, the airplane was damaged beyond repair and was scrapped.
Я действительно не понял, какого цвета были эти полоски.
Да. Самолеты были полностью металлические, часть крыльев и хвоста были обтянуты тканью. Носовой обтекатель был из дерева.
Выглядит отлично. Однако позвольте мне исправить пару моментов... D-ACON был гражданским самолетом. Поэтому не было верхней передней башенки/турели и заднего места стрелка с фонарем. Более того, у гражданских Condor не было нижней гондолы фюзеляжа. Они использовались только для военных версий. Также свастика была нарисована на белом диске. Вы забыли это добавить. Пожалуйста, посмотрите мой пост № 164 выше с D-ACON и D-AETA, и вы поймете, что я имел в виду. Однако примечание. Хотя может показаться, что у D-AETA уже была красная полоса и белый диск, но еще не было свастки, это послевоенная цензура. Они удалили свастику из-за правил закона. Здесь ниже вы можете увидеть похожую фотографию D-ACON. В любом случае, диск был белого цвета.

Do you know anything about the F8+BW coloring? Instead of broken figures and it has some spots

Vurger, is there a name for those people who restored Condor? Is it some kind of company? Or do they have a team name?The standard camouflage of RLM 72/73 colours at the tops and the RLM 65 on undersides. The additional spots look like freshly supplementation of the dark green paint there because of repearing or cleaning the areas with a rag soaked with a thinner for instance. Generally the camouflage seems to be faded slightly.
