TAMIYA 1/48 masterpiece Fieseler Fi156C Storch. T61100FI156 Storch
[Product Introduction]
TAMIYA 1/48 Masterpiece Fieseler Fi156C Storch.
[Eyes in the blue sky that gained the trust of ground forces]
If there is a slight headwind, it can easily take off with a glide of less than 50m, and 20m is sufficient for landing at a steep angle. The Fieseler Fi156C Storch, which served as the eyes of the German army in the skies during World War II and appeared on all fronts during World War II, was commemorated as a reconnaissance and liaison aircraft with unparalleled short-range takeoff and landing capabilities. It will be added to the 1/48 masterpiece series as the 100th work. Numerous ideas were introduced to thoroughly reproduce the highly functional appearance, including large straight wings, a windshield protruding from the sides, and sturdy main landing gear. We aimed for an attractive kit that could be said to be the culmination of the series. In addition, since the aircraft is known for the fact that the famous general Rommel personally flew on board to inspect the front lines, a total of 6 figures are included, including Rommel in a seated and standing position, as well as a pilot and an officer. You can easily recreate scenes such as Rommel disembarking from Storch and giving instructions to his staff. Of course, Storch, who worked closely with ground forces, is ideal for creating scenes in combination with 1/48MM series vehicles and dolls. This model greatly expands the enjoyment of creating scenes that transcend genres.
[About Fieseler Fi156C Storch]
The German Fieseler Fi156, nicknamed the Storch (stork), is still one of the most important themes today: STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) It is a rare item that achieved this performance nearly 70 years ago. Although the aircraft looks delicate at first glance, there is a sense of necessity in each and every detail, and the carefully calculated design concept continues to fascinate airplane fans. The slim fuselage, large and long main wings, wide field of view that covers all directions, and the long stroke of the main landing gear for taking off and landing on rough terrain, all of which are worth mentioning. In addition, in order to keep the fuselage slender, the engine avoided the star-shaped design that was common for air-cooled engines at the time, and was instead equipped with a vertically elongated inverted V-8 engine. It can be said to be an unparalleled masterpiece, as it continued to be used in many countries from its first flight in 1936 until the 1960s, even after Germany's defeat in the war.・・・・・・ This is continued in the explanation of the actual machine included with the kit!
