The Carreidas 160 is a supersonic business jet owned by Laszlo Carreidas, "the millionaire who never laughs". It originally appeared in the Tintin comic book Flight 714 to Sydney. The jet was hijacked to land Tintin and his friends on a mysterious island somewhere in Oceania, all of which started a new adventure.
It's an ideal airplane model for both kids and adults to explore the amazing world of Tintin adventures.
The model makes a wonderful display, and you can play with many different arrangements to recreate different moments from the comic. The airplane is relatively small and with all the accessories there are approximately 1500 parts, making it a very decent set that won't take too much space.
The best part of the aircraft is that its wings are movable to match the original sweep wing design. In real life, this design allows supersonic jets to fly more stable in low speed conditions like landings, while when retracted they make supersonic flight more efficient. Flaps are also movable to make the wings more realistic.
Surprisingly, the model features a small, luxurious interior and even a seat for one passenger (Laszlo Carreidas, that is). The front cabin doors can be opened as well.
All in all, my goal is to make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves aviation and admires the art of amazing Tintin comics. I really put a lot of effort into details and functionalities, and the result is a very nice set with a lot of possibilities and a great story.
Thank you for your time! Please leave a support and share it with your friends and Lego fans!
