NOTES:
-Made from styrene sheet for the main construction, and an oversized plastic Easter egg for the forward canopies, this took a good long while to bring together.
-I was hoping to have it done for Easter (my son got the Phantom from the Easter Bunny), but I didn’t quite hit that timetable.
-The basic body is 22” by 22”, roughly 2” wider/longer than the vintage Falcon. My son can pick it up at least.
-I imagined how this would work as a vintage toy, with clear inspiration from the old Falcon with the removable cockpit and hold sections.
-The project began by using Hasbro’s Phantom and working my way out within the basic dimensions I had in mind.
-The dorsal and forward turrets are articulated, which took a bit of figuring.
