Hello,

This obsolete Revell/ESCI kit drove me almost crazy. The production is dated on early 80s previous century so it is far behind to today’s Tamyia releases.
This particular Fi-156 was taken over by RAF in Cyrenaica – Libya and become private for
Vice Marshal Harry "Broady" Broadhurst, the Chief of Western Desert Air Force, Allied Air Forces North Africa.
As he become the leader of 83 group 2nd Tactical Air Force, his stork was enrolled in invasion on France.
It was crashed in 1945 in Belgium due to engine failure just after the take off
I had made the hundreds of amendments as engine air flow, the mounting on engine shield, inspection flaps etc..

Enjoy,
