Description
About this set
The LEGO Technic Bush Plane is a 333-piece aircraft with features that move. Push a lever and the propeller spins. You can adjust the ailerons on the main wings and the tail, and the engine cover opens to show a 4-cylinder piston engine. Its zebra print look nods to the work bush planes do in wildlife conservation.
It’s a good match for kids 8 and up who love planes and like to imagine conservation flights. It’s a fun way to build skills too. LEGO is retiring it, so new sealed copies will get harder to track down.
Highlights
- Lever-activated spinning propeller
- Adjustable ailerons on the side and rear wings
- Opening engine cover with a 4-cylinder piston engine
- Zebra print design linked to wildlife conservation
