Its a bird, no its a plane, no its a Fieseler 156

Project explanation

I love military aviation, and I think my modeling skills have just about reached the point where I can make something that at least looks ok.

I wanted a small rugged aircraft, so I decided to try my hand at making a Fieseler Fi156 "Storch". It took me 5 hours, including creating the simple night intruder camo texture (skin).


Unfortunately my engine doesn't currently support transparency. The real Storch has extensive cockpit glazing.


The Storch was built for making hard landing on improvised landing areas, and will be right at home in my little slice of the Eastern Front. At some point in the future I plan on going back and creating a proper green and brown break-up camo skin for the model. I know the cockpit looks kinda ugly, but it does follow the lines of the real one (lack of transparency doesn't help).
