I guess my main gripe with the PP is that the two sets of wings are too close
together (in my opinion the upper wings should be above the pilot's head
instead of below it).  If one were to remove the upper wings and possibly
extend the pontoons a bit more below the main body of the plane, it would be a
nicer looking model.  (The pontoon plane in the 6543 Sail'n'fly Marina is a
much better pontoon specimen.)

Remove the pilot from the PP. Does it look better without the pilot? To me,
pantoon plane is seriously undersized.

Two engines just for a single-seat plane? The PP is a single seater, only for
the same reason that all the semi rigs in Town are single seaters: they are
undersized.

Admittedly, the so-called "minifig scale" is not uniform. Compare the sizes of
two space shuttles 1682 and 8480: Both are in the minifig scale.

The jeeps in Adventurers are larger than the usual Town cars, and closer to
the real life in scale. In general, the scales of the vehicles in Adventurers
are quite uniform and close to the real world. PP is unfortunately an
exception.

(...) Well, the P-38 Lightning from WWII was a twin engine single seat plane, so the concept isn't that far out there. Of course, that doesn't mean that the set isn't still undersized, but there is precedent. Adrian (URL) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)
