![]() It’s VERY secure! Side mounted guns are added to the rear of the Phaeton.īags 9 and 10 sorted out. This is by means of two grey joint pieces. The front and back body sections of the Phaeton are ready to be attached together. Flip back over and we add the large cockpit hatch. This is looking really good and Mega so far has done a wonderful job of making use of color bloks to get the Helios skin down pat.įlipping this section over, we add the lower half of the rear cockpit. Here three sections of the rear come together, then at bottom, some rounded pieces are added. This part of the build starts the back half of the Phaeton. Those gradient printed pieces are really doing justice to the Helios skin of this Phaeton. This one and the correct area near the back, which you’ll see later in the build. in fact this set has built into it, TWO cockpit sections. ![]() Now, I know some of you are saying, but the cockpit isn’t really located there. We then add the cockpit hatch and a few solid bright orange sections, attaching those to the bottom half of the front of the Phaeton. Then bottom, the front top and cockpit sections attaching to each other. The top two show the cockpit coming together. Several steps in the build are represented here. This makes the model look more game accurate! I am SO happy they went with a gradient print instead of blok pieces. I was very curious how Mega was going to approach the color shading on the Helios. Those red upward pointing “C” clips will be used to attach the cockpit hatch to. We now begin to build the top portion of the front of the Phaeton Helios. We start by building the underside of the front of the Phaeton as well as what I like to call the souped up V6 engine! Directly below for instance are bags 1 and 2. Okay, let’s get on with the build, shall we?įrom here out, numbered bags will first have corresponding graphics to show which bags are being used. The smaller unnumbered bag comes with 5 circular pieces, the stand for the watcher, a part of the rocket launcher and some small attachment pieces. Here is everything in the big MCX bag, sorted out. We get a Spartan Orbital with the Equinox skin and a Spartan Defender with the Redoubt skin. There is also a Suppressor included and the Knight has a detachable Scattershot and Sword. From left to right:Ĭrawler, Knight, Watcher. You get a nice array of Promethean figures in this set. Here we see the printed cockpit readout piece. The Spartans have at their use a Delta skinned Beam Rifle and a “Pop Culture” skinned SMG. You get the clip tool and the multitool in this set. ![]() ![]() The bigger of the two unnumbered bags includes the figures, weapons, tools and various Phaeton Helios pieces. The box includes 11 numbered bags, two unnumbered bags and two thin instruction booklets. ![]() The back of the box shows the action feature as well as names the figures included. The box art is very cool, showing a battle scene between Spartan and Promethean forces with the Phaeton Helios right in the middle of the fray. Special Features: Cockpit opens/closes, Phaeton guns can rotate, cylindrical wings can rotate, minimal stands for Phaeton to rest on, stand for Watcher to hover over.Ĭost: $55-60 US (Mass Retail) I got mine from Amazon.Īnd on with the pics!
