Nice, I got one of these to do myself.
I also have the Windsock Datafiles for this aircraft and the scheme you have done seems to have been the one most commonly used, unless I read it wrong

Re-checked and this type used as Barry stated for Naval planes and late CI two seaters

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 09-20-2012 01:56

Another very well done rendition Barry.
That is an aircraft IO could well do with for my Austro-Hungarian Wing.

Good work Barry

**Ravenlord** · 10-10-2012 12:02

Very good work Barry!

Here are my examples:

VzFw. Schreier´s Phönix D.II ...

... and Phönix D.I 328.26 flown by Fw. Johann Malz who achieved one confirmed and one unconfirmed victorys in this machine during his first operational flight with Flik 14J on 19 May 1918.

I´ve used Revell waterbased colors, Dom´s and selfmade decals - as always.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 10-10-2012 12:23

Three very nasty looking varmints Matthias.
I just hope that my Italian wing manage to cope with this influx of new enemy machines.
Thanks for sharing them.
Rob.

**gully_raker** · 10-10-2012 15:28

Yes those two look particularly "Evil"!

Oh Chris!
Even more temptations you are putting my way. I keep thinking that my Austro Hungarian Flight could do with a bit of beefing up, and then you go and provide this.
Very nice by the way...........
Rob.

**Ravenlord** · 10-16-2012 11:42

A really nice one, Chris!

Flik 14 J seems to be ready for combat soon!

The paint scheme just makes my eyes very happy, well done. Lloyd

Superb renderings of those particular aircraft Ian.
You are producing a lot of really super work.
Rob.

**gully_raker** · 12-05-2012 14:03

Yes another TOP JOB Ian!

**Biggles downunder** · 12-05-2012 20:40

Well done all - makes me a bit nervous about starting my Shapeways additions to my fleet though.

Great work - funnily enough just finished my DII. Anyone brave \ clever enough to do a card ?

**Boney10** · 12-09-2012 07:29

Max has done a card for my DII and CI take a look in his album

**Dark Horse** · 12-10-2012 23:18

Excellent work gentlemen!

**Baron Rolf** · 12-10-2012 23:46

Those Phoenix D.II' s look amazing guys

**PilGrim** · 12-12-2012 00:37

Here's my Pola Naval Phonix DIIa on it's first mission.

I'm no good making decals so I used crosses from Dom and hand painted the rest. Unsure if it should have a plain wood or mottled fuselage so tried the mottling. The mottling looks better on my view with the naked eye than on camera.

This was my Ace pilot's new mount in our campaign, and true to form he was shot down and killed with 2 pilot hits shortly after the pic was taken - sniff.

Decals by Dom, paint is Vallejo, soon to be dead pilot by Peter Pig.

**somaliavet** · 12-12-2012 05:41

Very nice job! (and my condolences, lol)

**jbmacek** · 12-12-2012 05:51

These are all very nice. Keep up the good work!

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 12-12-2012 06:08

Great mottle work Ken.
Yes getting your new plane shot down first time out is par for the course.
My condolences.
Rob.

**Lloydthegamer** · 12-12-2012 07:40

Most excellent painting, the mottling looks great. Lloyd

A work in progress. I have been asked to do up cards for Unofficial Planes for the 'drome. Rather than do them up in near-exact copies, I thought I'd try something a bit different.

Thoughts?

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 02-20-2016 02:04

Anything which can extend our choices of repaints, or optional pilots can't be bad Mike.
Rob.

**matt56** · 02-20-2016 02:27

I like the add-on of the Aerodrome logo, Mike! Subtle, yet it sets it apart from the original look of the cards.

Beautiful, as always!

All the best,
Matt

**Kubajs** · 10-02-2017 15:31

Here is a close view of Phoenix I made for LL raffle. And the second one I made for myself.
They are Ares miniatures with a touch of brown on edges plus home made decals for the letter on fuselage.
Pilots figures are from Peter Pig.

I am not seeing the photos. Me, settings, or other problem?

Never mind. Once the question was posted, they all appeared.
