Gatchaman God Phoenix Papercraft

Gatchaman Aircraft Bastelbogen
When I was young, I used to watch an animated American TV show called G-Force. Much later, I discovered G-Force was an adaptation of the 1972 Japanese anime series, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. In the Gatchaman show, the G-Force team's aircraft is called the "God Phoenix." The Phoenix is capable of both spaceflight and under water travel. Also, when the need arises, the ship can also initiate "Firebird Mode" and turn into a massive flaming bird. This paper model of the God Phoenix was created by Studio Time Ring. The Studio Time Ring website no longer exists, but templates and instructions for the model may still be downloaded HERE.

All his models are very well designed, but do take considerable skill to build. This photo shows one example of his work: a Malcador Defender tank. The PDF template for the tank may be downloaded here. Build photo by Kelly Speelman. This model was released by Patoroch in 2009.
