Pursuit of Flight Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“The miniature planes in this set were designed to pay homage to the history of human flight, showcasing different types of aircraft from the early days of flying. The design cleverly uses forced perspective to give the illusion of depth and height, making this small build... More seem more dynamic than you might think.”
Bricks for Bricks
“Overall, I like the set and think it’s something out of the ordinary that we haven’t seen before in the Ideas line or elsewhere. The price is a bit steep considering what you’re getting, but it is a “low production” run set so that’s what you get. The program only allowed... More between 5,000 and 10,000 copies of the set to be produced so you’ll only find this one on BrickLink or other secondary sales locations.”

This small kinetic sculpture is designed to celebrate the history and wonder of flight. It features several different styles of aircraft from the early days of aviation history when engineers and pilots fearlessly pushed the limits of what was possible.
Any two of the aircraft can be mounted on the motion stand and a crank on the side can be turned to move the aircrafts from side to side. The planes tilt as they move, giving the illusion of them flying gracefully through the air.
Forced perspective – with clouds below and a microscale country landscape – is used to heighten the effect of the planes flying high in the sky.
Though these planes are smaller than minifigure scale, I have included minifigure heads for the pilots in some of the planes because I think it adds a bit of character to the model.
