Description

An airfield at the edge of nowhere

The Outback line told stories of adventure in the Australian interior, and this airstrip is the gateway: a small airfield from which expeditions set off. At 167 pieces the build stays manageable, and three minifigures provide a crew on the ground and in the air. The set works best as a play scene, since landing, take-off and loading are easy to act out. If you own other Outback sets, you can link them with this one to form a larger landscape.

Light grey, black, yellow and red

Light grey and black dominate because they make up the runway, vehicles and technical parts. Yellow and red add signals and make the flight operation feel busy. Seventy-eight distinct part types among 167 pieces is a high number for a set this size, which hints at many special shapes. Builders who like varied elements will appreciate that, since plates, slopes and accessories can be reused well in your own designs, even outside the Outback theme.

Play, collect, rebuild

Collectors of the Outback line find a typical piece that sums up the theme well: adventure, vehicles and short distances between station and terrain. For play the model is a good choice, because nothing is fragile and the figures fit the vehicles neatly. If you prefer rebuilding, the runway can become a small city airport. The mix of basic bricks and specialist pieces also makes the set interesting as a source of spare parts.

Parts list and ideas

You will find the complete parts list with every colour and quantity on this page. It helps when checking a second-hand set and when ordering individual bricks. The What can I build? tool shows which further models you can make with this set and your collection. With small sets full of special parts the check is worthwhile, because a hangar, a control tower or an extra vehicle is often quicker to build than you might expect.
