| I have plan to make a Fi-156, I want to do it in Romanian colors. I want to ask if Nr.0, one reserved for Marshal, was painted in German camouflage? Does anyone have an idea what is drawing the fuselage. I could hope for a higher resolution picture? Florin |

Where is this information coming from? Is there a photo of No. 0? Gen. Dénes |

| There is a photograph of personal aircraft of Marshal Antonescu in Fieseler Fi 156 Storch 1938 - 1945, Dariusz Karnas, Mushroom Model Publications, ISBN 978-83-61421-47-4. It is in standard Luftwaffe camouflage with German markings painted over in light green. Red 17 on the fin. D.Bernad collection. The photograph above is captioned as Fi 156 C built in ICAR factory. Stratus Collection. |

| In the scan of "Modelism" magazine provided by "scorpio", there is a reminder that this type of plane helped to recover Mussolini from his arrest. Little is known that for escape the Germans intended to use a real helicopter, but the helicopter got defective in the last moment, and "Plan B" was the Fieseler Fi-156 Storch. |

I'm referring strictly to the drawing on the left side of the plane. Drawing that looks like a eagle. |

I think it is a winged bottle, in my opinion it resembles the emblem from the photo below, only the design is different. Photo source: Romanian Aeronautics in the Second World War 1941-1945 - Cristian Crăciunoiu, Jean-Louis Roba, Modelism, 2003, page 196. http://postimage.org/ |

| The engine of Fi-156 was a two-stroke engine - you know, that kind where the lubricant is mixed with gasoline and burnt together. |

Trabant |
| Posted by: Florin September 01, 2012 03:33 am | ||||
I grew up in the "Trabant" era. When I was young and student, one of my dreams was to build a very little airplane to cross Bulgaria from north to south (only 300 km / 200 miles) and land in Greece, a NATO member. I made countless drawings around this dream. The Trabant engine was great for this job - air cooled, light weight, 28 HP. It was available in store with 11000 lei - huge amount for those times. The biggest problem in all this airplane matter was testing it somewhere - and there were good chances that someone could see me and report to Big Brother. *** You don't have the "delation" problem today, but this is a hard task even in a free country. P.S: A university colleague and friend told me that in Banat, the place of his grandparents, people found in a corn field an abandoned little airplane built around a Dacia 1300 engine ( water cooled, 52 HP , but at least twice heavier than a Trabant engine). With target less ambitious than mine (they only needed few kilometers to reach Yugoslavia), something went wrong and they did not make it. |

The Argus As10 was most definitely NOT a two-stroke engine. One is on display in the Military Museum. Radu |

My source is a French book about French paratroopers in WWII, translated into Romanian: "Indraznetii Inving" / "The Daring Will Win" OK, I got it - wrong source !!! A list with aircraft two-stroke engines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Two-stroke_aircraft_piston_engines P.S: Which Military Museum ?  |
| Posted by: Radub September 01, 2012 06:00 am | ||
Muzeul Militar "Carol I" Bucuresti. It is an excellent museum. Radu |
| Posted by: dragos September 02, 2012 07:42 pm | ||||
"King Ferdinand I", the founder of the muzeum, not "Carol I"  |

You are right. Apologies!Radu |

| How credible are these profiles? The one with the yellow nose, I see no wings yellow tips and no number. I want to make a model in 1/32 scale, and I want to make one with German painting and Michael Cross. Source of image: "Fieseler Fi 156 Storch 1938-1945" Yellow series No.6131 Florin  |

| The top one seems OK, but you should always go after a photograph, not coloured artwork (unless it is supported by a photo). I am working now on a book project involving many high quality, detailed artwork, and I can tell you a picture gives you many details an average artwork does not reflect. Gen. Dénes |

| Profilele color fiind deja publicate raul a fost facut, amandoua sunt incorecte. In ordinul de aplicare a vopselei galbena pe capota motorului este specificat foarte clar "...capotele motoareleor ale avioanelor de vanatoare..." Respectiv: Bf-109E, IAR-80, He-112, PZL-11 si 24. --------------------------------------------------------------- Both profiles are incorrect. The regulations for painting the engine cowling in yellow applies to fighters only (Bf-109E, IAR-80, He-112, PZL-11 and 24) |

| Si bineinteles ca si la acest ordin au existat exceptii, avioane de turism, legatura sau bombardament au avut botul galben: Me-108 Taifun, Potez 25, Savoia... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARR being full of exceptions, of course other type of planes use to have yellow cowlings: Me-108 Taifun, Potez 25, Savoia... all this being non fighter planes. |
