Does anyone know if there is a decent 1/144th scale or similar of the FW Condor ? Always wanted to get one
but 1/72 is going to be too big to fit with all the other stuff in the house.
 
At last...
I also purchased the new Italeri kit and just received it. Looks very good in shape and details. I found instruction a bit confusing because they refer to early and late version, but there is one item that leads to late version only, the engine mount if for IX (nine) series and later as are decals supplied. Consequently, we should use late type elevators. In my opinion, one item missing in the kit is a set of precut masks for transparent parts.

The kits each came with the rigging, thin piano wires.
I've have these Bobs Buckles which I used at the end of the rigging to make it look like I have tension. I also added a tiny sleeve to try and give the impression that the wires had been crimped.
