Brickset
Excellent small plane set and great beginner's set for those new to Lego — “Given the size and the relative ease of assembly, this is a great beginner's set, especially if you have an airplane enthusiast at home. Also, having been well-designed to mimic a real aircraft, it is a model that "matures" with the builder and looks serious enough even for... More older Lego builders to appreciate it.”
