Storch/MS500

[cthulhu77]

Not much to do with such a boring colour scheme, but I'm trying:

I had a Storch idea operating off the back of a boat in IndoChina....but it's now waaaay back in the que

[cthulhu77]

Hmmm...I might have to rip that idea off, if you don't mind!

Gotta love Vietnam/Indo Chinese birds.....finding out they used Criquets was a revelation! That's some nice work Greg....

[Eddie M.]

I'm very interested in this. It is my opinion that the guys who flew those planes and fought in them had the real balls. You had to get up real close to kill your enemy back then...

Since I hear you're the "Rigging King" , here's a project you could start, if you had a couple of years extra time.

Holy cow...where'd you find that one??

Our chief mechanic used to fly Criquets in Indochina, he would land in the rice paddies to pick up wounded and anything else...

Greg, that was the triple-hydro-triplane   , I think. No, seriously I think that's what it was called. It was Eyetalian, anyway.

Ollie, get this guy to share stories with us! And photos if poss.

I've seen that one before Eddie in a book I've got on "Daft" aircraft designs. Must try an dfind it as there are some stunners in there.

Decals are on...plane weathered and sealed with acrylic flat...now for the tricky part!

[K5054NZ]

Oooooooooooooooh I like.    

[cthulhu77]

Canopy is in place and firmly attached using Krystal Kleer...a little bit of filler was needed, but the total fit of it isn't too bad.  Lots of weathering too!

Woah looking good Greg! I love what you've accomplished with the paintjob! It's a real treat to see one of those in French markings!

getting closer...time to start on the base soon...

What a great idea, Lee. I won't be using the engine from my Airfix chippie, and my LHS can get me a Storch.....AND i have lots of RAF© roundels.....
