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

The Academy 1/72 scale Fieseler FI-156 Storch Morane Saulnier MS 500/502 model kit recreates one of World War II's most versatile liaison and observation aircraft with careful attention to the Storch's tall undercarriage and high wing. The kit captures the silhouette and character that made the type valuable for short takeoff and landing operations.

Why the Storch Earned Its Place in History

The Fieseler FI-156 was prized for operating from rough fields and small clearings, giving commanders a mobile observation platform. This Academy kit reflects that operational history through accurate surface lines and scale proportions that appeal to hobbyists who value authentic period models.

Assembly and Modeler Notes

This kit presents a moderate assembly challenge and is best suited to modellers with some prior experience. Careful trimming and dry-fitting will help achieve neat seams and proper alignment of the struts and control surfaces; the instruction sheet guides you step by step.
