1:144 Phönix D.III
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Phönix D.III. A late-model version is also available. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The Phönix D.III improved upon the Phönix D.II's maneuverability by adding ailerons to both sets wings, which were modified to be more forward-centered than the D.II style. It also moved the guns within the pilot's reach so that a jammed gun could possibly be cleared. The 230hp Hiero engine from the Phönix D.IIa was retained. Sixty-one of them were just going through flight testing in the final month of the war, and it was seriously considered sending them into battle without further testing to stem the losses at Piave.
After the war, only the Fokker D.VII and Phönix D.III were chosen as post-war production fighters, high praise for the D.III.
