Fieseler Storch 1/48 scale

Like most of us do I suspect I had a random thought after the last Sealion game about some better objectives in battles. I randomly spent several days thinking about blown up tanks, bunkers etc…. I also thought a downed German officer in his ‘Storch’ might be rather cool, having been blown away with the price of a suitable model I had to wait a couple of weeks then this one came up 👍

This was almost a reasonable price at about £20. 

I don’t have too much patience for models like this really, and the kit was a little too complex for my liking with lots of delicate struts to be placed in the cockpit area ! I just left them out after all it is an objective, it took the paint pretty well as I only painted it with a brush, for a change even the transfers weren’t too hard to fix, total effort about 6 hours over 4 evenings

Anyway despite my fumbling fingers it came out ok and here it is with the officers discussing how they should escape, I’m sure we will see this in a Sealion game soon

Finally I haven’t shared many landscapes recently mainly due to inclement weather and indoor cycling , but I got out today on a blustery and part way up my chosen route this memorial to two local Shepards from the 1890’s any photos taken later when I enter the cloud cover were not as colourful !
