Description

The first aeroplane, in bricks

In 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright took off in their Flyer, the first powered aeroplane to fly. This set picks up the famous biplane design and turns it into bricks. The appeal lies less in play than in looking: two wing levels, struts, propellers and the open frame make the early construction easy to follow. At 663 pieces the scale lets you recognise the character of the original, without making the model awkward to handle or find space for.

No figures, plenty of detail

There are no minifigures. The set concentrates entirely on the aircraft, so it speaks more to adults and older builders. For a model of this size, 94 different parts is a generous choice, giving fine shapes on the wings and struts where standard bricks would be too coarse. If you enjoy accuracy, the build gives you something to work at. Finished, it suits a shelf or desk, since it needs little room but attracts attention from anyone who passes by.

A wooden look in brown and tan

Brown, black, tan and light grey define the look. The warm tones recall wood and fabric covering, as on the early aeroplanes. Black adds accents at the engine and bracing, while light grey stands in for metal. That creates a convincing, historical appearance that does not shout toy. The parts list on this page shows how the quantities are split across the colours, which is useful if you want to check a second-hand copy before you commit to buying it.

Check it, rebuild it, reuse it

This 2003 set is mostly found second-hand today. Compare the parts list on this page with your stock to spot anything missing. “What can I build?” also shows which other models your bricks could become. The brown and tan elements are handy for huts, barns or carts as well, should you take the aeroplane apart at some point and want to keep the pieces in use. Other early vehicles in a wooden look are easy to build from them too.
