I bought this because it wasn't very expensive for such a big set, if it
was Star Wars it probably would have costed 35 dollars, but it was only
22,9 in my toy store. (Prices converted from SEK to USD)
It's a nice set, and it has a lot of playability, and good parts. 4 1*3
wedges in red (2 left and two right), a smoke windscreen, two giant
propellers, eight black cylinders, click hinge plates in dark gray, gray
slopes, and a dark tan pteranodon.
My only complaints are:
1) The windows on the side has no glass!
2) One of my red windows had a black "touch" to it, probably due to
dirty molds. I'll just have to pretend it's black from the engine
exhausts ^-^
This set looks realistic (which the Research Glider doesn't) and the
colour scheme is nice. The cockpit hasn't got very man controls, thoguh,
and it's hard to position a minifig to hold the control sticks.
The minifig is nice, her face is new to me.
Minifig equipment:
1 rifle, 1 camera, 1 backpack and one showel.
The pteranodon is nice, and I now have two in different colours! I'm
planning to get the red one as well.
The wings can be folded with click-hinges, and they can be separated
from the body, so can the tail. Don't know why, though.
Behind the drivers seat is a storage compartment, where you can fit all
the equipment.
A very nice set, I recommend it too.

This compartment is quite large, which is nice. It has both a 4x4 hinged (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.reviews)
