Introducing the Academy 12459 - 1/72 Fieseler FI-156 Storch Morane Saulnier MS 500/502 Model Kit

The Academy 1/72 Fieseler FI-156 Storch Morane Saulnier MS 500/502 kit recreates the compact observation plane with parts shaped to reflect the original airframe. Hobbyists will notice the wing bracing and glazing detail designed for authentic looks at display scale.

Role of the Storch and Model Appeal

Famous for operating from improvised landing areas, the Storch served in reconnaissance and evacuation roles across multiple theatres. This scale kit offers an opportunity to replicate that capability in miniature while learning about its unique aerodynamics.

Tips for Building and Detailing

Experienced builders should take time with cockpit glazing and rigging points to achieve a convincing result. Minor filler work on panel joints and careful painting will elevate the final presentation of the model.
