Intricate!

" This was a fun set to create after having not purchased such a large build in many years. It takes advantage Technic pieces for the chassis, and engages the design-oriented beauty that the Creator series is known for. The final product is aesthetically pleasing and structurally robust. The build was complex enough to be captivating, but also clear enough that it is okay to leave it unfinished and not feel lost coming back.

The jet appears to be modeled after the F-22 Raptor.

In particular, I was most taken with the design of the wings, which utilizes a hinge piece to join two mirroring wedges. Several other smaller wedges then piece together to conceal the substructure, creating a smooth, beautifully angled wing shell. The wings then fork mount onto a segmented railing that is built into the engine block. It is easy to pull off the wings without breaking down any of the jet's body should it be necessary to store it in a small box on moving day.

The cockpit is also quite detailed, and the seats perfectly fit minifig pilots (not included in the set). This is a great model for an aviation enthusiast, and will surely keep a kid busy for some time. "
