Academy 12459 1/72 Fieseler FI-156 Storch

The Fieseler Fi-156 Storch (German: stork) was the most successful of the STOL-Short Take of and Landing aircraft used during World War II. The aircraft first flown in 1937 and its ability to operate from runways less than 200 meters in length was quickly appreciated, especially in supply and reconnaissance missions. Although the only armament of the machine was a rear-mounted machine gun, and the maximum speed did not exceed 175 km / h, the Luftwaffe praised the plane very much and used it on a large scale during the war. Technical data: Maximum speed: 175 km / h, speed of climb: 4.8 m / s, maximum ceiling 4600 m, maximum range: 380 km, armament: fixed - one 7.92mm MG15 machine gun.
