   Aircraft are difficult to taxonomize on LUGNET. This isn’t a military plane, but military fans will recognize the “gooney bird” - the military’s version of the DC-3 - so I included that. I decided to post it mainly under Technic because of the working parts, though most of the plane isn’t really Technic. I’m including Town because that’s the closest minifig theme, and while it is roughly minifig scale the minifigs can’t fit inside due to all the mechanical and structural parts. And I’m including my local and club groups. I wish we had lugnet.build.aircraft, but there is no such thing.

William,

Wow, this is awesome. It’s hard to capture a streamlined shape in Lego, but you’ve captured a DC-3, I didn’t even need the name to recognize it.

Thanks,

George

Well it helps that it’s one of the most recognizable planes ever made...
