It has ostensibly been restored as a civilian Fw 200, but has retained the double-wheel main gear of the military version. So I’m not entirely sure what it is that they are trying to portray.




Since Lufthansa operated double-wheel geared Condors throughout the war, perhaps the reconstruction is meant as a tribute to both civilian and military flight crews?
