First name: Don

Scale: 1/48
Manufacturer: Tamiya
Model Type: Fi 156 Storch
Aftermarket addons: none

The daring mountain top rescue by plane of Mussolini remains one of WW II notable moments. Landing a Fi 156 much less taking off with considerably more weight was something that most likly the Storch was the sole fixed wing aircraft of it's day could have done. Using the Tamiya 1/48 Storch SOB.

Agreed. Never grew a pair to buy that kit due to the price.

Will be interested in seeing how this one builds out Don.I do not think I have seen a build on this one?

Donivanp · Nov 4, 2014

I have two, so when I screw one up, well you know.

I leave a job that I really frame the great job you did albeto in this plane, but not if it is the same as the one with a modification to, but I guess in general terms you will do well to have ideas.

G'd on'ya Don, I figure this one will test your metal a tad or two.

A very nice aircraft, so good choice. I was able to get a real close look at Kermit Weeks Storch and a demo on a visit to the now defunct Fantasy of Flight a couple of years back.

This should go together well.
