RE: Fieseler Storch, Fi-156 Svensson Kit
Hi Blair, The Storch used to rescue Mussolini on Sept 12 1943 was an Fi-156C-3. The radio code on the side of the fuse is SU+LL. It was camoflaged in standard fashion using the RLM colors 70 Black Green(overall), and 71 Dark Green over 65 Light Blue. Instead of the usual white fuse markings of the Med Theater it had a small rectangular white marking under the S(right side) L(left side) of the radio code. Squadron publications Storch in action has a fairly good picture on the back cover of the aircraft. Let me know what you decide on the kit, as I would like to purchase it if you are so inclined. Ben
