Hi Guys,

Not sure if this should be here or in the beginners forum.

I'd like to build this:



as this:



It's the 1/35 scale Trister Storch. So I would appreciate any help on appropriate colours to use, and on where I might source some suitable decals.

Also any other specific infomration you might be able to provide on the kit, aircraft spec, wiring diagrams etc etc.

Many thanks

Al

Hi Alan

I'll move this over to WW2 in case it's been missed.

As regards wiring and other dtails, the best reference I know of is Wings & Wheels Publications "Storch In Detail".

All the best

Hi Alan,

I took a few pictures of the Storch at Fantasy of Flight. I think the ones you'd be most interested in are the interior shots, so here they are!



you might also be interested in the engine views I took





and last just a view of this marvelous old bird itself

And that's all I have of her. The last flying Storch.]
I hope this helps you out some what

Hi Bruce,

Many thanks, much appreciated. This will be my first aircraft since I was a young lad.

Cheers
