Why this kit matters
The Fieseler Fi-156, known as the "Storch" (Stork), was a German liaison and reconnaissance aircraft renowned for its exceptional short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. Introduced in 1937, the Fi-156 could operate from unprepared fields and even snow-covered terrain, making it invaluable for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and casualty evacuation during WWII. The C-3 variant, equipped with ski landing gear, further enhanced its versatility in winter conditions.
This model accurately captures the Fi-156 C-3's distinctive features, including its ski landing gear, high-mounted wings, and spacious cabin. Modellers can recreate this iconic aircraft with high fidelity, offering opportunities for advanced painting, weathering, and display in winter-themed dioramas.
