1/72 Academy Fieseler FI.156 Storch

Here is my Fieseler Storch in the Afrika Korps colours. This is only second kit I have built and it was a real challenge to do.  After seeing this one at the aviation megastore at Aalsmeer I had to build (and paint) one myself!

Because that my boyfriend (Niels Dol) is doing a lot in aircraft modelling too, I had a lot of advice how to do things. The kit is built straight out of the box, for the paints I've used the Model Master RLM Range.  I've practiced a few times on the camoflage pattern and when I was happy with the results I started on the Storch itself.  After applying a clear cote (by my brother in law Bjorn) I've applied the decals, the swastika came from a Xtradecal sheet.  It was finally finished by applying a dull coat.

I've once said that I only would do 1 airplane, which was a Hobbyboss F4F-4 Wildcat, but since this Fieseler is my second, I will be building some more!  My next project is a Fiat CR.42 from Italeri.
