Fl 156 Storch

[Baron]

In the book: "Der Fieseler Fi 156 Storch im Zweiten Weltkrieg" published by Motorbuch are the best two shots I have found. The bill, eye and legs are always darker as the white base. So red/orange could be possible. the base of Africa could be black.

BH: Nice RLM 78/79 work

Colours tweaked for this C5, going to be a squiggly one next.

[BLOWHARD]

Nice!!! That looks right to me.

Hey Simon, do my colors, and what Ink has here look pretty close to you? Also, do you have any research on Italian colors used on German planes? I have something somewhere.

[JMSmith]

hi BH,

these were early italian colours, used by the luftwaffe, then later they used their own colours, this chart is for name only

then a rough guide to the actual colours, the darker one in each case is new paint.

i now expect Ugo to demolish my findings

[JMSmith]

just been looking further,
the later study by CMPR makes all the above a load of bolloxs

[BLOWHARD]

Nice colrs JM, thanks!

[inkworm]

Time to take the side off

[gamary]

Nice job!

Plz put it back on the ground. It really shouldn't be flying with a stopped prop and open cowling.

[Mangas]

Looks nice indeed. Any chance for weather it a little? or at least the wheels?

[inkworm]

It really shouldn't be flying with a stopped prop and open cowling.

Fast shutter speed on the camera means a stopped prop, I'm not the best photographer and even though they shouldn't have, there seems to be evidence that they flew without them, probably run out of covers by the end of the war

As for the weathering this is only one of 40 done so far and still more to go, some are much more dirty than others but might fade it more just for you!
