Description This is a 1/72 Fieseler Fi156 Storch Plastic Model Kit from Academy.
Facts The Fi156 was the primary battlefield observation and reconnaissance aircraft of the German Air Force during WWII. Featuring a high aspect ratino wing with leading edge slats and flaps, the plane had excellent STOL (short take-off and landing) characteristics. A Storch piloted by German spy Otto Scorzny was used to rescue Italian dictator Mussolini in 1943. At the end of WWII, the French Morane-Saulnier company continued to produce the aircraft for the French Air Force. This version was powered by a radial engine and was designated the MS 500/502 Criquet.
