Description

A light aircraft in bricks

Piper is a well-known maker of propeller aircraft, and this set translates that type into a model built from bricks. At 619 pieces it is far bigger than a simple toy plane and shows the fuselage, wings and tail with recognisable proportions. Five minifigures come with it, so crew and passengers can come along for the ride. If you like aeroplanes, this is a model that works equally well for display and for play, and it looks good from every angle.

White, black and dark tan

White, black, dark tan and red are the most common colours. White forms the outer skin of the aircraft, black adds contrast around the windows and undercarriage, and red supplies the stripes and accents. The dark tan recalls grass, a runway or timber. The 619 pieces share 133 different shapes and colour variants, a solid mix of standard bricks and special parts. For your own aircraft, the curved white pieces and the plates are especially useful, because they can be used in so many different ways.

Build it, show it, play with it

The build takes longer than a small vehicle but stays manageable, and adults who enjoy aircraft models will find it rewarding as well. Because the set belongs to the Exclusive line, it is a somewhat unusual piece among collectors, though we will not go into further detail. As a toy it works too: the plane can be picked up, the figures climb in and out, and children can dream up trips, rescue flights or sightseeing tours.

Checking parts, building on

On this page every part is listed with its colour and quantity. That is handy when something is missing from an older set or you simply want to count your bricks. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which other models your collection could make once you take the plane apart. The white and red pieces combine well with vehicles, airports or buildings, so your collection can grow bit by bit without any extra shopping.
