Guys

Please post photos and reviews if you'd already received your Figarti STORCH

Ever since K&C showed a prototype of the STORCH on their diorama, my mind has been captivated by it.

I went on the internet and downloaded lots of photos and read a lot of information on it.

Also, I'd been following this forum on the news for STORCH production.

I even bought a 1/35 plastic STORCH kit... but I never had the time to afford to assemble it.

Finally, Figarti is going to produce one, at a much lower price than K&C, although the edges of the FIgarti version looks a bit rugged, the canopy is fogged, and the color scheme seemed a bit off.

I called K&C in Hong Kong, not only their warbird Storch was sold out, it costs over US$800 which I couldn't afford.

I was looking forward to K&C producing a polystone cheap Storch...

but I couldn't wait, knowing this Figarti Storch will be gone soon, and K&C will not be able to produce one in the near future.

So I went ahead to preorder the Figarti Storch. It's a big investment, and I haven't even seen it in-person.

Louis Badolato wrote that it looked good... but I would like to hear from a more selective critic on it's quality. From the photos I don't see a pilot inside the Storch, I wish they put a guy in it.
 
As I posted I got the Figarti Storch last week from Hobby Bunker. Did not post pictures because Matt from HB did.
There is no pilot in the cockpit, and the glass is a bit fuzzy.
I,m not an exactly a nuts & bolts guy so I cannot pick out errors etc on the accuracy of the plane.
But I,m more than pleased with it.
As stated mine arrived undamaged, had to be very careful removeing it from the box, but I can see that being a problem, damage in shipment, as there are many struts etc that look rather fragile.

I will be picking up one. Not having a pilot for me is not a problem as all the K & C planes I own don't come with one and I can always stand Rommel next to the plane.
