Hy!

Got my Ghost a few days ago and today noticed this pic in the ffg news:

Now before I'm going to break the ship with my clumsy fingers, can you really get the Phantom out of the docking bay or is this a special show-model?

Thanks!

No, the Expansion comes with a separate Phantom miniature. The model that's on the Ghost doesn't come off. This one has been modified (quite well I must say).

Edit: it looks like they cut off the Phantom on the Ghost and placed a mount for the one included in the expansion.

The Ghost comes apart fairly easily if you know where to look for the seams. You can slip in a butter knife at the front of the ship where the cockpit is and work your way along the edge, twisting the knife as you go. Don't be overly aggressive though, just enough to get things popping. The spine comes off, as do the upper engines. Once you have the spine separated, you can carve out the Phantom that's molded to the Ghost. Then you can make the docking area from a polystyrene sheet. Or you can re-purpose a plastic box, jug, or similar, if you're on the cheap. Once it's glued and painted, who's going to know?

Now would be a good time to magnetize the Ghost as well.

Good luck! and don't forget to post your progress (with pics).
