Tamiya 61100 - Fieseler Fi156C Storch: Authentic 1/48 Scale STOL Subject

The Fieseler Fi156C Storch is noted for exceptional short take-off and landing ability and a range of wartime roles from observation to air ambulance work. Its operational history includes high profile missions like the Mussolini extraction and routine reconnaissance duties for commanders such as Erwin Rommel.

Issued as part of Tamiya's centennial run in the 1/48 Aircraft Series, this Fi156C kit presents a faithful assembly experience with carefully engineered parts and multiple build options to suit modellers of different skill levels.

Kit Features and Options

This 1/48 kit supplies parts to model various Fi156C variants, offering options like an auxiliary fuel tank, ski gear, and three alternate canopy styles. Canopy glazing is moulded with the fuselage halves to preserve scale lines and ease fitting.

Structural elements such as the internal wing spar and landing gear struts are provided as metal parts to add durability and a convincing look. Included pilot and commander figures help stage dioramas, and photo-etched details are supplied for instrument panels and framing to enhance cockpit realism.
