Tamiya 25158 1/48 Fieseler Fi156C Storch Scale Kit - Classic Liaison Plane  [25158]

Overview of the Tamiya 25158 1/48 Fieseler Fi156C Storch

The Fieseler Fi156 Storch is notable for its exceptional STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) performance and long service life during World War II. It served in roles such as liaison, spotting, and reconnaissance, built with a cloth-covered steel tube fuselage and wooden wings that allowed several countries to adapt the type for postwar use.

Kit Features and Build Notes

This Tamiya 1/48 model faithfully captures the Storchs proportions and details. The kit contains metal frame parts for the wing and landing gear and photo-etched cockpit elements to boost realism. Engine cowlings are removable after assembly so the Argus As10C engine detail can be shown, and builders can choose between an open or closed boarding hatch plus adjustable flap positions for varied displays.

Markings and Display

The box provides five marking choices so you can represent Swiss, Italian, or Hungarian examples. Included canopy painting masks help achieve clean glazing, making the finished model a solid addition to any World War II aviation collection.
