Wilbur. You wanted a plane.

You wanted to see more planes from the model shop in the secret lab so this one's for you.  It's sort of an exotic as it isn't really the Storch that it looks like.  It's a French copy, the MS500 Criquet post war used in French Indochina after WWII and left to the VNAF.  It served in the role of Forward Air Controller and Casualty Evac.  It's STOL capabilities are legend.  Pardon the macro photography as I'm not that good at it.
