Mish Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Well I bet you think that it's a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch. You'd be right, and wrong Immediately after the liberation of France in 1944, the production of Fi 156 at the Morane-Saulnier factory was continued at the request of the Armée de l'Air and designated MS 500. Production continued toll 1965 after some 925 aircraft had been built. Started this old kit today and after about six hours work got it to this stage. 1
Mish Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Good progress today, paint on decals started.
Administrators James H Posted November 28, 2015 Administrators Posted November 28, 2015 Nice to see one in non-luft colours. You on a French trip at the moment?
Mish Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks Jim, been on a French kick for over a year now. Started with my Tamiya 1:32 Spit IX
One-Oh-Four Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Yeah, looking refreshingly different! I was of the impression that the Criquets used radial engines, though? Or am I misinformed? 1

The later ones did have a radial engine, but the early ones and I believe the bulk of the 900+ that were built had the inline engine.
