The Kit The Model Shipways plans for Phantom were originally prepared in 1960 by George F. Campbell, a noted British marine artist, au-thor, naval architect, and historian. George Campbell was a member of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects. One of his most note-worthy publications is China Tea Clippers. He also developed the drawings for the Cutty Sark restoration in England, developed the Model Shipways kit of Rattlesnake, and authored Model Shipways' model handbook, Neophyte Shipmodeler's Jackstay. The Phantom kit's plans are based on hull lines provided by Howard I. Chapelle, taken from a builder's half-model in the Smithson-ian Institution's National Museum of American History. Deck details and rigging are based on photo information from the Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts. The kit was originally offered as a 1:96 scale solid-hull model and was redesigned as a 1:48 scale plank-on-bulkhead model in 2024 by noted modeler Jarod Matwiy of Winnipeg, Canada. The larger, redesigned kit offers more detail and more advanced construction techniques yet remains true to the research upon which original design was based.
