About the Fi 156 Storch
Produced to meet a Luftwaffe
requirement for a new liaison aircraft, the Fi 156 Storch was a light aircraft
that had amazing STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capabilities. The design
incorporated such practical features as folding wings, which allowed it to be
easily transported, and landing gear shock absorbers that allowed it to land on
rough surfaces. It was used in a variety of roles, including liaison, tactical
reconnaissance, and air ambulance, and it was the aircraft that was involved in
the daring rescue of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel was also known to make heavy use of his Fi 156 for battlefield
reconnaissance in North Africa.
Tamiya's signature 1/48
scale Aircraft Series has now reached its 100th model! To mark this special
milestone, we are announcing an all-new Fi 156 Storch assembly kit, which gives
modelers further opportunity to create mixed-genre dioramas involving both
aircraft and vehicles.
