A few months ago a good friend of mine went to Germany with his lady friend, visiting various aviation museums and the like. On his return he double-checked my address and sent me a kit I'd never heard of, of a type I'd never seen much: the Intermodell 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw56 Stosser in a stapled bag. It's a West German kit (surprisingly with swastikas on the decal sheet) with minimal parts count and no locating pins. Extra fun when it has a top-mounted, strut braced wing!
But it was a fun little build. I used the kit decals but did a little extra work: windscreen from an Airfix Tiger Moth, cockpit step, and cut one of the access doors and scratched a new one. I also had to replace the struts for the horizontal stabilisers as they were both long gone.

Here it is with a B-25 to give an idea of relative size. I imagine it would be quite a fun, sporty machine but from my online research it seems none survived to today. Very disappointing.
