Post by: Borsos on May 27, 2023, 04:30:02 AM: A Phönix D. I in 1:32 from KatModels is better than no Phönix D. I at all…
Btw: Are we wiser than 1992 when Windsock Datafile 31 was published? Because Peter M. Grosz regretted there that no interior information was available then. So do we know more now, 31 years later, about Cockpit details?

Hi Andreas,
I don't know but hopefully there are more details out there somewhere.
Hopefully someone can post any information they have,

Hi Eric,
Yes probably and similar is simplicity to their Phonix C.1.
But as Andreas said, it's the only game in town for that particular aircraft.

Hi Andreas,
That could be good news.
However, I think I'll try the C.1 build first before ordering the D.1.
Just to see what challenges we'll face with that model,

That doesn’t sound like a bad idea….

Dear Borsos!

JaPo Publishing published a book about the Phönix in 2005, which includes an illustrative drawing of the cockpit interior + explanatory text for each instrument and switch.
I hope you can get it and it will help you:

Post by: UFAG on March 17, 2024, 02:52:32 AM: The reel on FB looks close like building a Hansa Brandenburg DI star-strutter. Was there ever a Phönix DI with star struts..??
Title: Re: 'Katmodel' Phönix D.I
Post by: Mike Norris on March 29, 2024, 07:25:26 PM: The FB release post is not for the Phonix.
It seems 'Katmodel' have released the Hansa-Brandenburg D.I model without any prior warning,
