Serving much the same liaison and artillery spotting missions for the German army as did the Piper L-4B for the USAAF, the Fi-156 Storch's most famous mission was the daring rescue of Benito Mussolini from an Italian stronghold in the Alps. Detailed plastic kit features recessed panel lines, textured representation of fabric covered panels, realistic cockpit and separate wing flaps and leading edge slats. Includes optional noses and canopies for two variants - the Argus-powered Fi 156 or radial-engined MS 500/502. Includes 64 pieces; 7 ¾" wingspan when completed. #0009235
