russ c Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Howdy everyone, come to bother you again with some photo`s of the latest addition to my French Indochina collection My second attempt at Tamiya`s 1/48 Feisler Storch ............ ......dressed up as an MS-500 Criquet Slightly modified as the MS 500 had aluminium skinned wings as opposed to the fabric ones of the Storch.......... so sanded these off, which I nearly forgot to do and which would`ve been easier if I hadn`t already fitted the flaps and ailerons, Doh! The only other mod` I did was to fashion and add some power bulges ( filter intakes? )to the engine cowling and a whip aerial. Decals are partly from an Xtradecals Storch sheet and some from the stash Pictured: `dropping off secret orders at Bien Dien Phu prior to the start of the siege` Well loosely anyway 🤔 Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 - Excellent representation of this work horse in Indo war. I particularly like the atmosphere of the first photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Another excellent model Russ and thanks for the heads up re the wings,.... I have one in the stash and would have just built it from the box with fabric covered wings. Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Nice to see another of the 'familiar but slightly unusual' build from the Russ stable! I wonder how fabric covered aircraft fared in that heat and humidity. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
