Special Hobby 48036 Phonix D.II/IIa 1/48 – plastic model kit

The Phonix D.II/IIa 1:48 scale model (code: 48036) from the renowned Czech company Special Hobby is a unique proposition for all aviation model enthusiasts interested in World War I aircraft. The Phonix D.II and D.IIa were Austrian fighter aircraft produced by Phönix Flugzeugwerke to serve the Austro-Hungarian Air Service. These planes entered service in 1917 and were actively used until the end of the Great War, mainly as propeller-driven fighter aircraft on the Italian front. Their rotary engine and solid construction made them some of the most valued machines among Austrian pilots, and the D.IIa model was an advancement of the design with a modified tail unit and improved aerodynamics.
