Phonix D-111

Built box stock. Although Box art depicts a two tone blue colouring, in all research and the kit instructions show only grey, white, silver, or camo colours were used by the Swidish Royal Air Force.

There was also a comprehensive PE sprue.

Nice model of a relatively unknown aircraft.

Pretty neat little airplane.  Must be about the size of a shilling!

Cool little plane.

You build some fascinating and unusual aircraft models. Very nice work.

[Roadrunner]

Interesting. I have the JaPo book on the aircraft, but have never really looked at it closely.

Thanks guys for your comments. Yes I do build different aircraft. I built all of the WW2 stuff from the age of 8 upwards, so they hold no interest. I'm constantly looking for unusual craft, mainly european or eastern bloc, very interesting.

Nice little build, I have no idea how you guys build those tiny planes. I have a couple 1/72 scale planes in the stash but they are huge planes in 1:1.

I quite agree Lloyd, I fumble a bit and find especially when building the wing structures (putting the wing struts on, using various tools to hold them up, waiting till the glue is half set then adding the top wing and used more props/small & large paint tins I need etc until it's all set) at least two if not three extra hands! Sight wise I have an illuminated magnifier. But the hassle is worth it!
