“Packaged in Japan with Kabaya sweets, this small set have few pieces and the building is also so much simple, but it still good, due to be a small. The minifigure included, called Mike, was included in other sets, and is simple but nicely designed, with good printed details... More and also with a hat and a gun.”

“The plane has a dark grey brick which sloped upwards at the sides. It has two 3x3x1/3 wing pieces, and then some black sloping pieces to reinforce the strength of the wings. There is a light sand 2x3x1 sloping piece at the front, on which join some lights and a small... More windshield. Behind this is a space for a minifigure. At the far back is another section that is cured at the ends, and a propeller at the back.”
