Tamiya 61100 - Fieseler Fi156C Storch: Detailed 1/48 Reproduction of a Wartime Workhorse

Renowned for its short-field performance, the Fieseler Fi156C Storch served as a versatile liaison and reconnaissance platform. Its ability to operate from confined sites made it invaluable for observation, medical evacuation, and daring operations such as the Mussolini rescue, while leaders like Rommel used it for front line scouting.

Issued as part of Tamiya's landmark 1/48 Aircraft Series run, the Fi156C kit blends accurate surface detail with assembly options that let builders model several service fits. This release underscores Tamiya's reputation for clear parts and precise molding.

What Comes in the Box

The 1/48 scale kit includes parts to depict different Fi156C equipment, such as an underfuselage fuel tank, ski undercarriage, and three canopy variants. Clear canopy panels are molded with the fuselage halves to ensure alignment and crisp glazing.

Load-bearing items like the wing spar and landing gear legs are supplied as metal pieces to improve strength and scale appearance. The set also contains pilot and commander figures for display, plus etched brass details for cockpit faces and framing to boost realism.
